Default vogtland and neubills just installed

on my 2000 1.8tqms. lowered one perch all around. i've had em for two weeks. i cant complain. the look is perfect. coming from a factory sport im not perfectly happy with the ride though. one minute its bumpy on my 18's. but then going around corners i wish it was even stiffer. most of that im inclined to think is the fault of 18's and not the suspension. the suspension is a great upgrade for the $.

Default i think the 18s would make it less bumpy and stiffer..

i have 16s on my a4 and when i put on 17s you could feel it stiffer for sure.. the other thing to really have it as still as you may want coilovers is the only thing that can do it properly..
that is why my next suspension after i upgrade my konis adjustable and H&amp;R springs will be a used stasis co susp..

i had the 18's on for week before the suspension. it was bumpy on factory sport package and the car rolled all over the place. now its even bumpier but tighter. a lot tigher. but i could almost sacrifice more bump for for more g's.
