Default I am finally getting my springs on this weekend(hopefully)..... ???????'s though..

I was wondering if there was anything I should know about putting them on the TT in general. My friend does this stuff a lot but never on an audi. Any advice or helpful links that I can download to help me while in the shop. I am also putting on a
1/2 kmac also. I don't have internet range out to the shop though so if you know of a downloadable version of anything that may help. I just don't want to hit any bumps along the way. Thanks... May luck be with us in the morning... cross your fingers, and toes!!!!

Default yup...best to put in shocks while you're tearing the struts apart at the same time...

and like steve says, new strut bearings and bushings.

also, depending upon how low you go, you may need some camber adjustment mod in the rear, like Kmacs or Forge tie rods.

other than that, the struts are pretty much like most mcpherson struts...and the rears are similar to alot of newer VWs out there.
