Suspension Gurus needed
Fellas, Im looking into some suspension for my 94Z A4. Right now I have a 52mm TB and Moroso intake if mods even apply. Everyone is trying to sell this and that. I thought Id ask. What are some good brands? How much will this stuff help? Torque arm, sway bars, springs, tower brace etc.... Please dump the wisdom here, I appreciate the knowledge....

What is your primary purpose for the car...
-1/4 mile performance?
-Auto-X and road racing?
-all round good handling street car?
Each of those may produce a different list of mods.

I agree with all suggestions....welded sub frame connectors, good LCAs (relocation brackets...more so if car is lowered, but work either way...), an adjustable torque arm (can't say enough bout dat, pinion angle is critical for good traction...), good shocks, springs (preference and $$$ here), poly transmission mount, and some decent tires....you'll be set...check out www.spohn.net they have fair prices on good products...

Well, if handling is your goals, i would do things such as subframe connectors, strut tower brace, and lowering springs w/lca relocation brackets.

also poly bushings in both front and rear sway bars help handling.

As soon as the tax returns come in the mail, I am going with strano's "winning" set up. The Koni double adjustable fronts with the HD Bilsteins in the rear...staying with the stock springs. I have subframes, lca's and a torque arm ready to go on...just need uncle sam to send me some money back to do it...plus I am sick of the wife complaining about the money I am spending
Contact Sam Strano and www.stranoparts.com He knows what he's talking about!! Plus he is a real nice guy.
