Hey all,

If you remember, I'm the guy that had the stock suspension, which was awful because the car rocked back and forth like an old Buick.

Anyway, a few months ago I had Koni shocks installed to reduce the body roll, but they were set to full tightness (they are adjustable) which made the ride too harsh.

More recently I had the Koni's loosened all the way. The ride is definitely the best yet, with body roll kept to a minimum and ride roughness reduced. But as it turns out, the ride is still a touch rough for me. Going over moderate rough terrain is still a little jarring.

So, I'm going to replace them with Bilstein shocks. I'm having the 'Heavy Duty' versions, which are made for cars without lowering springs. They provide a smoother ride than the Koni's according to Eric at Supreme Power Parts.

My idea from the beginning was to achieve a smooth ride without the nauseating rolling of the Cabriolet's standard suspension. I say Cabriolet because Audi's other models exhibit far less body roll. I'm keeping the standard springs for now.

The Bilstein's will be installed in early December. I'll post a follow-up.

I was told that you can adjust the height, don't know about adjustable stiffness.
You might want to check with Eibach.

Price is around $1,200 /kit.

I'm waiting for more info as well,
Eric
