Can you guys post pics of full MTM suspension. Please read!
I want to see what kind of ride height it will have. I also would like to here from you guys that have driven a S4 with H&R streets and MTM full. I don't really care about raising and lowering the car I just really want to get rid of the dive and squat that I'm getting with my streets. I'd consider trading my H&R's for the MTM full suspension.

Sorry, no pic. But I have had MTM full suspension for 2 yrs....
Dive & squat are gone. Ride is not harsh. It is a little too low for where I drive. I frequently scrape my front bumper and/or exhaust can approaching and leaving driveways; I occasionally scrape my DTS on bumps. Overall, I think it is a good suspension, but c/o's give you all the above, plus the ability to adjust height.

I've been very happy with the MTM Full and after 33k miles it feels as tight as new; no indication of sagging or damper wear. I've driven a couple of sedans equipped with H&R Streets, albeit only briefly and not on roads I frequent(ed) in my car. The H&Rs felt similar with respect to body roll and cornering but slightly softer in general ride. I didn't notice a considerable amount of dive and/or squat over my setup. One of the cars happened to be few hundered pounds lighter than my Avant, so I did notice how "lithe" it felt by comparison to my 3,800 lb pig ... and that sense of "lightness" overrode any variation in handling directly related to the suspension.

that's EXACTLY my problem. The apt complex I'm moving to has a bad driveway (short and steep) and
I'm worried about being too low and not being able to adjust it. Otherwise, I'd buy it immediately.
Have you adjusted the height at all via the perches? I know you have to take them out to adjust, but....

Everyday for a year and a half I had to gingerly navigate the approach/departure to our driveway.
Note all the gashes in the curb and driveway ... even my wife's Outback would scrape if you didn't angle it just right. :-/
Glad I don't have to navigate that thing anymore. : )

problem is that the driveway to my complex is on a kinda busy road on the other side of the road
(coming from work and my g/f's house) so I don't know if I'll be able to go really slow.
******It would be GREAT if people in NJ w/ the MTM Full would drive over to Chatham and try it out for me!!! <hint....hint>

Heh ... I used to aggrevate plenty of residents as I creeped into my drive. : )
And we almost backed out of the house while it was under construction just because of the driveway and my car ... no kidding. After the driveway was poured, we tested it and deemed it doable since we really wanted the house and I could navigate enough not to scrape ... though I still did when not paying enough attention (front and tail pipe when under load).
And if I went in at too aggressive an angle it would lift the inside rear tire. :-O

I have MTM suspension/twin 2 and hit that exhaust...
at bad driveways or crazy speedbumps no matter how slow i drive. The twin 2 hangs a lower than the VM-1. i only scraped the VM-1 when i had more people in th car.
