Hoppenmotorsports has the S8 shocks and springs for about 1800.

Rear roll bar is 20mm, vs 14mm on your car.
 
A huge difference.

I have one on my car, makes a huge difference, on top of the H&Rs.

the differences I was referring to was between US and euro S8 suspension, I can not wait to update
 
my car. I so saw the limitations of it this past weekend. Yes I know that it is all about balance. But what I found was that the more I balance the car the faster I get and the less the car can stop from those speeds. The first thing is brakes then suspension.

smart move, does anyone sell the sway bars separate?
 
I just wonder if 2bennett is offering a good deal or is it cheaper to by separate parts. I like the 6 piston brembos, i will more then likely be doing the same.

yea, my 18's look the same. its funny how wheel gaps can make your wheels look.
 
I think its about the same as the bil/eib combo, maybe a little less. but still, its an improvement. The question is, Have any of you S8 owners changed your suspension? What was your difference? and what did you use?

Younger 04-27-2005 08:52 AM

2bennett will not have them for aleast 4 weeks and the price will be 30% higher than 2195 posted ...
 
on the site.

2bennett only has sway bars at this time. Where did Jim order from and what did he pay????

Younger 04-27-2005 08:55 AM

you hide it well in your pics, I can do the same, but I need to loose the gap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm told it will lower all four corners an inch.
