Default ECS Adjustable coil over suspension kit

I see ECS has created a coil-over kit for the B5s which can be retrofited on aftermarket suspension kits already installed. I've been looking for a kit like this for sometime.

I've emailed them regarding the possibilty of a B6 kit - will keep you posted.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&amp;engine=1.8T&amp;mod el=B5%20A4&amp;submodel=Quattro&amp;category=Suspe nsion">ECS coilover kit</a></li></ul>

Default I would stay away from that....

it looks like it uses a set screw to attach itself to the body of the shock... not good imho.. imagine a tiny set screw holding up the wait of your car. the bodies of the shock will not last long.

Default Correction......

Tiny set screw does not hold up weight of car, it mere prevents the threaded body from rattling on you shock. The weight of the car is held the same way as stock, on the C-clip on the shock body.

Default yep hes right... im an idiot...

I was actually looking at a similar setup on a mustang with konis and coil overs yesterday while I was at the dyno. I retract my previous statement and will now say..

I want a set, when will the be ready for our cars?

I was holding out for the Cup Kit from H&amp;R but I think this will yield better results with H&amp;R sports and a set of adjustable konis.

I think it was only work with modified bilsteins - since they already have a perches groved in them.
