Intrax Motorola Cup suspension kit...
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9749/intraxs4.jpg">
I had the kit installed yesterday (thanks to Eric @ SPP and the Boston Audi Group Buy)... And I can only say good things about it! =) Body roll is drastically reduced (corners flat), and the whole car just feels better (atleast tossing it around Sunset Blvd., thus far). The kit (obviously) is firmer than stock, but far from stiff/harsh. Coming from a '98 M3 with H&R Sports/Bilsteins, I thought I would be in for a similar experience... However, this Intrax kit is smooth. It soaks up bumps really well, even with the 45 min. drive back from Irvine to L.A. on the 405. Overall, the car is still very comfortable. I've also noticed that in turns with uneven pavement, the car doesn't get unsettled. The front of the car should settle a little bit more... And no, I haven't scraped on any driveways so far. =P
On my way back home, after the install, I took Sunset Blvd. (curvy road in Los Angeles for those not around here) and was stopped at a light next to an older Chevy SS (1960s?). I accelerated *briskly* (hehe), and then I could hear that he was going full-throttle trying to pass me. I floored mine, shifted to 2nd, and he was behind me (after ~7 months of driving stick, I'm finally getting the hang of it)... Of course, I whooped him on the curves. ;-) I could see in my rearview mirror that he was trying to keep up, but after a couple blocks, he gave up. =) Err, don't try this at home/in unsafe conditions. It was midnight, and there were practically no other cars around. =)
Time for some new wheels/tires... ;-)
