I need new tires, brakes, and rotors... should I just fork it and take advantage of the situation and get new suspension as well? (i will [probably never] have the time or talent to do this myself)

if so - what's the latest that all you young kids are into nowadays?

Default Depends on what you are willing to spend

When you say 'new' suspension are you referring to new stock suspension or sport lowered suspension? I wanted to lower the car about 1.5 inches and I bought some yellow adjustable Koni shocks and HR Sport springs. I am happy with the ride and performance..Bilstein is also a popular shock for the TT. You can also go coilovers but they typically will cost more.

Default I am in the same situation, suspension is a must...

New rear rotors (Mr Schwings stock pads!), new Brembo BBK up front, tires flipped...

Have to replace the suspension as its worn out and making my tires wear irregular (cupping inside).

Might as well go for some KW3s!

Default Re: Depends on what you are willing to spend

I want to bring her down about an inch, I never track her - but I want the best handling I can get.

thanks for the suggestion - from the search this question was only asked like a million times - appreciate you tippin in.

1 quick q - front bearings and mounts. read that I should swap these out too - what is the advantage to that? and what am I swapping them out for?
