DC area folks - suspension questions
 
Does anyone in the DC area have APR roll-control or eibach set-ups? How are they for driving on DC streets? My car spends much of it's life in DC.

I have stock sport set-up and want to keep a pretty compliant ride but cut back on brake dive and lower the car a bit. Suggestions?

Also, anyone have non-OEM clutches to recommend? AWE is apparently good but maybe too expensive for me....

Thanks!

A lot of people apparently keep their Sport Pkg Springs and buy Neu/Bil Shocks will allow you to
 
adjust the height a bit. I have Neuspeed Sports with the Neu/Bils and am happy with the ride although it is rougher. The best thing to do is to attend some of the area meets and see if someone will let you ride in their car to feel their setup.

I have had the APR clutch and am now getting the SPEC Stage 3 CF clutch...
 
the APR one was discontinued because they had quality issues.

Where are you getting the SPEC Clutch from? Thks.

Well... its a bit of a story...
 
As you may know, I'm getting a new used engine put in my car due to a broken spark plug. When the shop took my old engine out, they noticed that my APR clutch and flywheel and been worn down incorrectly, the outside was worn down into the bedding material, while the inside was almost like new. So I worked with APR, but since they discontinued those exact clutchs, they let me order one from SPEC at wholesale cost to them. Check out www.SPECPwr.com for the phone #. I should have it back on Wed... hopefully....

Good luck with your car. Maybe I'll see you at the next meet. Thks...

Let me know how you like the SPEC clutch. Their prices are very reasonable. S1 $349, S2 $419...
 
I want to upgrade to a S1 clutch when my stock one wears out. Maybe S2 at those prices but that will probably be overkill. Thanks...

Additional info:
Stage 1(part number SA241) up to 300 ft lbs
Stage 2(part number SA242) up to 375 ft lbs

I ended up getting the Stage 3 Carbon Fiber... not sure of part number...
 
and I can't list price here... We'll talk at the next meet... this Saturday... can you come?

Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 11-06-2002 04:29 PM

Yeah, I think I can make it. What time and where? Link?
 
We were supposed to hang out with my wife's friend on Sat but I think we're doing it Fri, now.
