Droollll!!!! I took a sneak peak in your flickr account. I want it! Can you post exact model/part no.? Thanks!

[TCM GLX]

WOW!! Looks outstanding!!

A few questions:
1) What exact part number did you use, and what was the fitment for (B6 3.6 I am assuming)
2) How long did the rear take?
3) How long did the front take?
4) Did you have to pull the axles in the front to swap?
5) Does the entire coilover assemply drop right in?


So jealous right now!!

Any idea if the TDI has the exact same suspension as the VR6?

Looks sweet! How is the ride quality compared to stock? I want to lower mine but I kinda like the "being on a boat" suspension

[mreuro]

Any idea if the TDI has the exact same suspension as the VR6?

Yes its all the same just that the TDI will have a different spring rate because the VR6 engine is heavy.

No idea yet.... haven’t had a chance to drive it yet... Kind of busy at work and the shop is still working on it. Alignment and height adjustments are in the works...

[rico_arg]

wow you work fast my friend.. looks really good.. but i have to say that, imo, the wheels dont flow well on that car...

Same here looking to get 19" but have nooooo idea what will look great....

[cheapa55TDI]

4) Did you have to pull the axles in the front to swap? Yes both axles had to be pulled out

Is this normal? Do you think all coilover kits will require this?

[brit78]

Car is looking great Andy. Nice work! Now if only mine would show up, or be produced, or even exist!

[mreuro]

Is this normal? Do you think all coilover kits will require this?

most will....

[cheapa55TDI]

most will....

Thanks. I've never had coilovers installed before so I'm clueless.

[silverA4quattro]

Been thinking about a 3.6 SEL for my wife next summer, this may have made the decision much easier. Glad to see the B6 kits fit on these!

[mreuro]

Glad to see the B6 kits fit on these!

Yeah me too....

[bedlamfirm714]
