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.

 

what kinda suspension are you wanting....
drag?
or autox?
tires are the most important if you are wanting traction.....

Im looking for a good handling street car.... thanks for the quick response!

 

likewise! How much would just a set of lowering springs help? They are only around 250 too!

 

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

 

Awesome info fellas...

 

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...

dont forget the adjustable PHB to adjust the rearend after lowering.
also poly bushings in both front and rear sway bars help handling.

...and I forgot...A GOOD ALIGNMENT, by someone who knows what the hell he's doin'.....

 

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.
