Suspension critique: This is whats going on the car,

Ok tell me if this will create a nice suspension setup. I have an 02 225TT AWD manual. Will this create too much oversteer, because this car has no idea that such a thing even exists ;-)

1. HR coilovers (in route)
2. Nuespeed rear (19mm in route)
3. Haldex Performance Unit
4. 18 in RS4 reps with either 10mm or 15mm spacers in front and 20mm or 25mm spacers in rear, if someone can clarify the advantage having thicker thinner spacers, if there are any?

ran that for a year... loved it!

well... 1, 2, and 3... I used 17 inch wheels though. Super flat cornering, NO oversteer problem, VERY quick turn in, and direction changes like a "fly". Decent ride, but on REALLY long road trips there was fatigue (hence my change to Bilstein/Eibach). Overall a high quality set-up that's dead reliable with the latest revision rear springs (all new kits for the last 2-3 years came with the correct spring). Uses revalved/shortened Bilstein dampers (they go forever, the worst set of Bilsteins I've had went 115k miles). The full range of ride height adjustment is available without tricks. I'd still be using the c/o's but I'm gettin' old, needed to slow down, and really like long tours...
