If the stock suspension is 'worn out' after hundreds of thousands of
miles, obviously bits of it need replacing.
I think I've commented before on the number of people who approach me
for performance modifications:
"I want more performance. Can you chip it or put a bigger turbo on?"
"Yup. But how about I fix the inlet air temperature sender, full
throttle switch, ECU water temperature sender and a couple of air leaks
first, so it works like Audi intended it to?"
"OK, if you think so."
[An hour later]
"Holy Sh1t!! Bye!!"
This approach has the added advantage of not involving your insurance
company or making the vehicle more conspicuous to the local area's
finest.
