TT is tired, needs some work

I have a 2000 180 TTQC that is my daily driver. I just clocked 160K on the OD. I need most or all suspension componets replaced. I will need new springs and want to stay as comfortable as possible. Suggestions on a spring/shock combo??? Also, looking for a good mechanic in the RI area.

Thanks!!!!

I just put Koni FSD's, Eibach springs, and CPT control arms on a week ago....

Very comfortable, yet stable and flat in the turns. Go through MJM Autohaus for a Koni/Eibach combo kit with a free 19mm swaybar included for $950, CPT arms are extra, but it'll definitely wake your ride up.

Thanks! Did you have to do the KMAC?

CPT arms do the same. You can do either..>>

But you will need to do some camber correction even with the moderate drop (1") from Eibachs..

Re: If I'm replacing the whole suspension??

I was thinking of replacing the control arm busing's and maybe the control arms if necessary. Probably the most economical time to do this mod. Anything else while I have everything out? While mechanically inclined, I may have a mechanic do this. Unless we need a guinea pig car for TT east
