Questions

Post by chunky79 » Sat Jul 17, 2010 7:32 pm

Right guy's

Just put a deposit down on an rs6 so now have some question's :roll:
The car is still on drc so that look's like it going to need doing at some point. What do people suggest to change it with?
Also, warranty (taking cover now :sekret: ) who are people with and how much are you currently paying?

Cheers

If you can afford it Bilstein PSS9's or the cheaper option of H&R.

I don't have a warranty!

In my experience, H&Rs are fine for everyday use, if not slightly saggy on the rear.
I save money on warranty by saving in a 'slush' fund each month, so that when the proverbial does hit the fan, I can afford to get the work done immediately, rather than having the hassle of potentially getting into a tussle with the warranty company.
Any pics of the future car?

I am thinking about the Bilstiens b14 I have heard some good reports about them and a lot less expensive than the PSS9. As for warranty out with audi I would not trust anyother company so i keep a shoe box fund.

Sounds like a slush fund is best option to make sure you get the work done a.s.a.p but could be expensive, but thats what these cars are about.
If/when the drc does get changed i'm not looking for it to be too low, i would like it just below standard height.
Thanks for the answers, keep them coming guy's :thumbs:

slush fund is good, but im not a mechanic, so I personally prefer the Audi warranty, as its less hassle, just drop it into Camberley Audi and pick it up all sorted
