[Q] Springs and shocks for 4kcsq
HAUDI,
More questions for the sages. I need to upgrade the suspension on my 87
4kcsq with 150k on it. I just put new Potenzas RE930's on it and am
looking for a muffler shop to put a new muffler on the car. Within the
next month or so I plan to upgrade my shocks and springs. I have already
replace the suspension busings and wheel bearings on the car, and I am
hoping that my CV joints are OK for now. So my choices are,
1) Blaufernugen advertises SPAX sports suspension for $599. Front shocks
are 10-way adjustables, rear are fixed and have gas pressurized
monotubes. Sports springs lower car 1' to 1 1/2" and are shot-peened,
stress relieved (what ever that means :-))
2) 4 x KYB GR-2 gas struts for $236
OR
4 x BOGE TURBO GAS SHOCKS for $325
OR
4 X Bilstein ($$$) (???)
AND
4 X H &R Springs ($$$) (???)
OR
4 X Eibach springs ($$$) (???)
Note: My 4kcsq is a daily driver. I want performance suspension 'cause
(a) To feel good/enjoy about my car
(b) Go to quattro club/ Alfa club meets and race/play.
(c) I am an amatuer at best, but would like to bring my car out for club
meetings more often.
Thanks. This list makes owning a quattro a lot more fun.
