Default Finally, Alu Kreuz installed today !

After months of procrastination. I finally order and then installed the Alu Kreuz today.
The ride and handling is really night and day difference, even my wife notice the huge difference.
All the reviews are spot on. The turning, ramp up on curve exits, and brisk overtaking are amazingly tight.
What is really nice is - that mushy, bouncy, wiggly steering feeling is gone!
The ride is very solid and smooth. The allroad now drives on rails!
On a straight highway cruise, the firm smoothness is now very similar to my A6 Avant,
except it sits a little higher on the road.

I'm doing the REVO Technik Stage 1 flash too very soon.

Yes, on stock suspension, it drives pretty tight.
I was going to get sports sway bars if I was not fully satisfied with the Alu Kruez, but
I'm pretty happy with the Alu Kruez right now. I'm going on a longer trip this coming Sunday,
so I will have more road time to observe it.

I was also contemplating H&R coils for lowering the vehicle by 1.4 inches, but maybe sway bars first
before lower coils because I take it to the mountains.

I want to get the AK and have been kind of sitting on the fence about it. I think you've helped give me a helpful nudge.

My reaction today was - "Why in the world didn't I get this installed sooner?".

Kreuz. A very nice bit of kit regardless of spelling.
