Thanks bud. Rides really good! Not had much time on it yet but very comfortable on rough roads and nice and firm in the bends... I mean I think I like it better than OEM set up. But will need to test it on the track first. looks good ;)

New shiny Bilsteins PSS B14.
10 hours, 2 pizzas and 4 beers later... DRC is out including all lines and actuators, replaced by Bilsteins.
It's a bit late to go for a test drive but pretty happy with the ride hight at the moment, will give it a week to settle than readjust. What a ball ache that was to adjust the rear springs!! Everything else went as smooth as, since I have done this before there were no nasty surprises, although driver side pinch bolt at the front decided to not play ball for about 30 min.. but could not stand up to my determination, swearing and good bit of heat ;)

Well done buddy, hats of to you. What did you do with the DRC hoses and fluid lines, etc?

I must say, I do think your pizza to beer ratio is off though. It should be four beers to one pizza. :lol:

You'll be wanting updated ARB's for the high speed bends too in due course I reckon.

Just ripped everything out! Not a difficult task. Just took all plastic under tray off and most of the lines are visible. I was surprised how corroded they were. Crazy!!!! Why don't Audi use stainless??????
Actually all my shocks are in good condition and Not leaking. So will be selling those if anyone interested. I believe they were replaced under warranty not too long ago...

Also, regarding beers lol :) I have a kiwi friend helping me out so it 1 pizza and 2 beers each ;)

What size ARB did you go to, and how did you find the handling difference? Been considering this update myself to try to make the car a little more playful.
