Audi tt bt build almost done I guess?

[Marcus_Aurelius]

Those are some serious spring rates. Did you have your struts revalved or custom valved for those spring rates? I presume these aren't just off the shelf PSS9? Maybe we should take it to PM to not clutter this thread...

Most regulars here know about the setup but they are "off the shelf" H&R RSS Clubsports (675/1150 lbs default springs) that were custom revalved to my specs. When I looked at the original valving spec sheet, they could have been used with my spring rates easily without falling out of the valving range.

Got my new grill

[01ttgt28]

Got a fluidampr pully in today from 034

[01ttgt28]

Grill is installed pics will be up tommarow and the coilovers are finally coming in
Tommarow so i will have some new pics

[01ttgt28]

[01ttgt28]

The new grill I think it looks way better








So Tuesday Alex will be putting in the coilovers and fluidampr also I'm almost done breaking it
in caint wait to see what she can do

[20v master]

It's already broken in. Drive it like you stole it.

It was around 3000 lbs race weight, with just a bit over a 1/4 tank of gas, the last time it was on the scales.

It's probably sub 3000 lbs now since everytime I work on it, there are a few pieces left out.

[01ttgt28]

Alex installed the coilovers today pics of the back


We ended up taking out the perches



Forgot to take pics of the front but their not all the way down. I am going to let them settle and
lower the front a bit more

[Audiguy84]

well now that you have the GO, stopping is just as important.

[BigBlackTiTTy]

did you take the adjuster out too ?

or is that just without the perches ?

[01ttgt28]

I have Porsche boxer calipers with hawk pads braided lines and cross drilled and sloted rotors

[01ttgt28]

Okay so what I removed was the adjustor's what is the perch???
I thought it was the same??

[01ttgt28]

Got these yesterday one was a warning for a two year old inspection sticker
And the other was speeding around a bend he asked me why I told him
I got new suspension and was trying it out

Stock rotors in the front? Drilled and slotted does nothing to help with stopping distances, and you've changed the bias to the front with the calipers, but still have the non vented 180Q tiny rears. If you do any tracking at all, I'd look into the vented rears as an upgrade.

Never seen someone happy to get tickets. I feel bad for you guys up north, even your axle shaft is rusted.

oh.. I saw your rear brakes and was swore I heard them say "replace me" ....

[01ttgt28]

i just replaced the pads in the rear with pbr and some braided lines nothing crazy
in the rear

[BigBlackTiTTy]

adjuster is the metal thing to adjust height
perches are all the round rubber or foam pads on the top and bottom. some tt's had a top perch and bottoms. some just had bottoms. but take all that out sometimes it can add up to an extra inch of bullsh!t


basically the only thing in there should be the spring, and the bottom pad that has the bumpstop on it.. ( im pretty sure anyways)

and there are a few other round pads and such that you just take it all out. basically run the spring by itself

[01ttgt28]

thanks i am going to remove the top pad next week

And the other was speeding around a bend he asked me why I told him
I got new suspension and was trying it out

I hate cops I got a citation just 2 nights ago while driving myself home from the airport because my tag was expired by 4 months. I showed the guy my boarding pass and told him I'd take care of it as soon as I got home, but he wouldn't let me go. He said I could have done it online and 4 months was plenty of time. As I explained, I travel for work and hadn't been home in 2 months at least and didn't notice it was expired until I got in my car that evening to drive home. Still gave me the ticket for $114


85-90 in a 65mph zone isn't bad if the other cars are doing the same speed.

Ahaha! I need to rent a storage locker for all my OEM parts


OP, $400 coilovers on a car with this much money in it?

The first guy let me off on my 3year old inspection sticker said he loved the car and said I had
The safest seat belts he ever seen.

The other state trooper said I wasn't going to fast till I hit a large bend on the highway.
I told him I was trying out my new suspension. I guess that joke didn't work what's funny
Is he didn't say nothing about my 3year old sticker or no seat belts??

[DougLoBue]

Are your harness's DOT approved?

[miller6323]

Love your build! When do we get to see a dyno?

[Marcus_Aurelius]

OP, $400 coilovers on a car with this much money in it?

Yeah, I tried to warn against them before purchase as I saw it being the biggest mismatch of a great build. It's always a learning experience for all of us and I predict a do-over in the suspension department at some point

[DougLoBue]

I'm on my third set now! It went from:

I want to go low- HPA SHS's
I want to handle better- H&R's
I want to pretend the roads a race track - H&R RSS's

[01ttgt28]

Are your harness's DOT approved?

Yes but I don't know how long their good for they have dates on them

[01ttgt28]

Love your build! When do we get to see a dyno?

Thanks In about 1,500 miles can't wait to see what happens

[01ttgt28]

I know will see what happens I appreciate the advice and your experiance
