[s-cars] Upgrading B5 A4 suspension

[Hap Maguire]

Hey Lee 

There are a ton of options available for the B5. Look at the for sale sections on Audizine for someone demodding their car. I bought a used Start-up Racing coil-over setup with Penske shocks for Da Wintah Beatah. I run those with 700f/800r springs for a stiff road set. On the track though she really shines. Throw in the H-Sport sways and all the poly stuff that 034 and Apikol sell, a DTS and a set of Stern adjustably control arms and you're all set.

Hap, wit dakine B5 not from Evahboost, Maguire

The car was a lot more controllable with the latter and I was putting down times equal to/better than many of the BMWs ( admittedly I have more autocross seat time than many of the other attendees...and the timed course was not power friendly.)
