Dragging up another thread sorry. My car has had clutch done this weekend and the mechanic noticed whilst car was up in the air my nsr shock is pissing oil, my last service at audi highlighted this but wasnt pissing out. Maybe being up in the air has finally nailed the coffin, anyway the car is now knocking front and back badly and wasnt before, and oddly on the opposite side to the leaky shock, anyone think this is related or just a coincedence, car going back up on ramps asap to check everything as were no knocks before clutch was done. Anyway i need some b14s i think regardless, wheres the best and cheapest place if anyone knows. Many thanks in advance

I got mine from Revolution, they're sponsors on here. As for the knocking coming from a different side, i think its something to do with the shocks being linked with the hydraulics.

Thanks for the replies, was so chuffed to finally have a clutch and now this., i knew it was on the horizon but a bit gutted. Id like kw v3s but think with the money i dont have il go with the b14. How are you guys finding them ? And anyone ran a set for a few years ? Cheers

I found no faults with it yet.
Done around 8 trackdays on it as well and can keep up with race prepped clios alike in corners. On the straights, not many cars can compete anyways ;)

Haha, i was about to pull the trigger on demon tweeks as theres a discount code but there is no variant option, just says audi quattro, other sites list 3 b7 variants (body shape)of the kit , would i be correct in saying that ? Ive emailed them to await a response before ordering

Phoned demon tweeks and they honoured the discount over the phone , £733 delivered !!!!! BARGAIN. the code shouldnt apply as kit on sale already ,but they honoured it anyway. To add its for new customers only and wouldnt be suprised if its removed pronto. Anyone looking to buy use code NEWR17 for 10% off 1st orders, bear in mind there is no variant option on website so need to ring. Well happy with that

I know i was a tad suprised at how cheap it was tbh, will be here tomo so hopefully its the correct variant, anyone have the saloon part number to hand ? Conflicting info as some say the rears are differant due to weight loads and others list as the same, i can cross reference anyway once they arrive. Just gotta talk someone into fitting them now

Pretty sure when I asked them to quote on fitting it was only about £200.
