Ivan,
I left that "other" forum a while ago..
You're right aboiut the lifestyle though. A fulltime job, a biz and a 6 
mos old son leave me about 4 hours of sleep daily. The only service my 
cars get these days is oil changes.

I second that advice. Bilsteins can be easily revalved to spec.

Are you saying that the steering feels too heavy with the servotronic 
connected???

Yes indeed sounds like the left camber link is done. Mine recently 
started to sqeal on one side so I replaced both.

Most likely the engine mounts. The righ one is prolly cooked 'coz it 
sits right under the turbo. Don't bother with the transmission mounts. I 
removed mine and put them back. Unlike the ones in the old type-44 
(a.k.a. "seledka" ) the ones in the UrS are built like a tank and will 
outlast the car.

I hate you :)
Which one have you decided to get: the two post type or the scissor type?
