Low-Ride-Er...
Fellow Auto Unionists,
Recently one of my shocks went bad, giving me a viable excuse to buy new
springs and shocks. Well, in my mind, anyway. So I called Jamex after
seeing an ad in Sports Compact Car. (Not mine, a girl at works' copy.)
Being the only ad that mentioned Audi, I thought I'd see what they
offered. I talked to John, who turned out to be a Audiphile and a
Q-Lister, as well. That's a selling point! So my question to the forum
is: How good are the product? Are their other spring/shock kits I could
look into for around the same price? (about $350) I own a 1986 Coupe
GT, built around November of `85. I recently found out the Eibach no
longer has complete sets ready for sale, and H&R have discontinued theirs
for this model. Oh, yeah...I heard that here. [8^) 2Bennet's are out
of the question, as to the fact that I don't have that kind of money.
John at Jamex says his kits should be available December 15 or so.
I want to lower my car about one and a half to one and three quater
inches. I don't plan on getting rims any larger than 15". I do a lot of
highway driving, but I like to drive "spiritedly" on the curvy backroads
on the weekends. And I couldn't give a Rattus Norwegicus' postierior
aspect how any (brave) passenger thinks of the ride comfort. It's a
driver's car, after all. (Hell, that's why the seats have padding!) Oh
yeah, I'm not a racer and I don't have piles`o money laying around to
spend on my Audi. Any constructive opinions? Any smart-assed
wisecracks, as well? [8^)
TIA
Love, Like, or Just Plain Tolerate,
Timothy
