What would you like to know?
<center><img src="http://members.verizon.net/~vze4phja/images/rallyq_24sm.jpg"></center><p>They aren't stock struts firstly.
The top mounts are actually just behind the stock caps. The caps are just there for decoration. See the two allen bolts, just to the rear? Gives me lots o'caster. Tracks a sraight line like the dickens, but hard as all get-out to steer at low speed. Also let's it take the rough stuff without missing a beat. Notice the diameter of the actual strut.
The bolts go in at the top as in the attached pic. That strut is from fusilier's car, but they're the same

Audi-Sport piece?
I was curious as to the set-up of the upper portion which stuck out of the struts in the engine bay. Now that I see their aluminum struts, I know their not a "stock" piece.
Thanks! :O)

Even though...
Alex keeps telling me, "the car loves the rough stuff". I keep thinking what happens IF I break something? There's a reason the car cost so much to build.
That said, I've gotten some air in it, and indeed, you don't feel a thing. It's as smooth as silk. One of the course workers came running up to me after a run on the last RallyX,, and said, "WOW, how was it?". Fine, I said, what do you mean? He said,"MAN, you caught some awesome air on the back stretch!". I had to say, I never noticed, I was just looking for the next turn.
Audi's are built like tanks, and this one is no exception.
