Default Slightly under 3k. Maybe 2850-ish. I believe at 3k, it was about 85mph.

I guess I should stick to 70 or under for better fuel economy. What's the best speed for range? 65mph? 70mph?

Default I can't imagine 30v's are geared differently than 12v's

I am at something like 35-36 hundred at 85.

Default KMHPaladin i have a question for you, read inside......

I know you put your coil over's on your self. SO i ordered my cup kit for my 96' a4 2.8 fwd(non sport suspension) today, are these ready to install, or are there any other parts i may need?

I read i may need new bump stops and dust boots, i dont really know what these parts are but do i already have them on my car or need new ones?

Default read inside.....

We moved the dust boots over from the existing suspension to the new coilovers. I would read the coilover installation guide in the tech articles several times, very thoroughly, and then ask detailed questions if you are still confused.
