Thread: FS: B+G S3 Speed Sensitive Coilovers 450 (Full suspension, shocks, springs)

  1. 08-07-2012 04:31 PM #1
    THREAD CLOSED! These are sold. Thanks all.

    All Wheel Drive R32's and Quattro Audi TT's have interchangeable suspensions, so here is a takeoff from my TT.

    Up for sale is a great deal on my B+G S3 Speed Sensitive Coilovers. They look great and work great. These coilovers are very rare nowadays especially since many manufactures no longer make all the cool stuff they did for our TT's as they did when there was a larger after-market sector a few years back. The technology behind these is pretty cool, and pretty much goes after the "I wish Koni FSDs were a lot more sportive crowd". These coilovers dampen according to your speed and road conditions, I believe the shock takes input according to frequency of oscillations that it gets as you are driving and the dampening is automatically adjusted from there. I found the coilovers to be about on par with H&R for stiffness. I refinished the coilovers and their springs from the original boring silver to a much sexier and resistant rubberized black to cover up some of the peeling of the original spring paint and to have them match B+Gs newest RS3 line of coilovers.

    Included
    2 Font springs & shocks
    2 Front spring plates, helper coils, and helper coil mounts
    2 Rear springs &shocks
    2 Rear perches

    Things you should know (i.e. why your getting such a great deal besides the fact that I'm a nice guy)
    * As pictured in pic#3, a metal bushing one of the rear shocks is missing. Best option is to just transfer the insert from your old OEM shock. Otherwise, a machine shop could easily mill one matched to the other shock's specs or, a mechanic could probably cut something to fit and press it in.
    * I no longer have the perch adjustment wrenches (my tool chest was stolen out of my moving truck). Any perch spanner wrench should work avail. at ECS for $20 and prob. cheaper elsewhere, otherwise the coilovers are set for about an inch to half an inch of wheel gap on my TT as pictured below

B+G Coilovers allow you to dial in height adjustment for the perfect combination of aggressive stance and enhanced handling, without the teeth rattling ride associated with other Coilover Systems.

    * Ride height adjustment from 1 to 3 inches lower than stock
    * Dual spring design perched on monotube gas charged dampers
    * Low bleed system to maintain ride quality and eliminate the harsh ride associated with other Coilover Systems
    * Proprietary speed sensitive mechanism automatically adjusts dampening for improved handling during high speed or aggressive driving condition

    I updated pics, as some were having trouble seeing them. Please let me know if there are still any issues.

    Also, to answer a more common question, no, the coilovers are not spun all the way down in any of the pictures. There's enough adjustability to completely eliminate wheel gap if you so desired (In the pics and pics of my car there's over an inch of adjustability to go, and the rears have maybe .5 inches to over an inch if you don't use the perch.

    Dude, it's already cheap as it gets. The least you can do is PM him instead of looking like an ass.

    Here are a few shots of how they sat on my 19s, as well as my 18s. As to shipping quotes, I'm actually boarding a cruise as we speak, so I won't be able to supply shipping quotes until I return on the 20th. My apologies. however if you wish to get an estimate my zip is NY 10607, and the box would be around 50lbs. As to the question on vintage, I used them on my TT for two years.

    So once again I'm out of town until the 20th, so I'll answer all questions when I get back.

    If you're referring to me, I was just asking for his price with shipping, not trying to be an ass. You ass. Who asked for your opinion anyway?

    Yes, these are still available. I am back in town as well, so I can once again handle all questions and requests. Local is best, but I have no qualms shipping. I have a few offers, but nothing concrete just yet.

    Its the fact you are asking the guy what his lowest price is at an already great price for these coilovers. It makes you look cheap for one and because I am a membr of this forum, Im forcing my opinion on you haha.

    Also, Ur profile looks to say u have a GTI, these do not fit your car. JS.
