Default My first mod on the way!!!

Hey guys, my first mod is being shipped tomorrow! OEM sport suspension I purchased from Matt (matt i don't know your screen name). What kind of price am I looking at for installation? Also, now that I can put wheels on, is the classified section the only place I can post a WTB for 18" BBS Ch wheels/tires? Oh wait, did I just sneak that in?!

PLENTY OF BEFORE AND AFTER PICS TO COME!!!!!!

Default It depends... are you gonna have it installed at a shop or by the dealer?

The dealer will kill you on the labor.

Default Bump stops?...

I can infer what these are for, but are they on my current OEM non-sport suspension? I'm definitely going to have a shop put them on. I'm having trouble finding someone that will do it. I go to school in a small town (Oxford, MS). I wish I was still at school in Nashville. I could find a million people to do it. I may have to go to Memphis. How do I find out if I need bump stops or not?

P.S. MB, as I've had so much correspondence with you since I've joined, I've given your pic of your car on the beach the honor of "Current Wallpaper"

Default bump stops sit at the top of the shocks and prevent them from hitting metal

I have 2 I'll throw in (not sure if they are front or rear, will have to check part #'s. you can also just cut down your non-sport ones.

too bad you are 12hrs away otherwise I'd offer my install services too. If you're mechanically inclined, it's a 5-6hr job the first time as long as you have the correct tools

Default Found an install place, say they'll cut down my current...

bump stops for free. Thanks for the part # and 2 stops, Matt. It really sucks living in Mississippi. I never see any other Audi's (that's not that bad, though). But I wish I were somewhere I could find shops with experience with audi's and see some others on the road with mods. I guess it will just make mine stand out more. Oh, taking pics tomorrow, so get ready for some sweet ace uber-stock a4 pics!!!
