It sure doesn't sound like it...
Apparently, they are so afraid of lawsuits, that they are DESTROYING Mark I suspensions here.<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.jpg" border="0">

I will do my best to give an accurate report on Wednesday evening
after I get the coil-overs installed. But I think that, just as they will improve my ride, they will do the same for a 225Q. They have to, by definition. Bring it back to the MkI level--no one knows until they try it. But for sure, it has to improve the handling, since if the MkI ride is improved, so too will the MkII ride be improved.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3177"><img src="http://members.home.net/cmelick/audipics/sig6.jpg" border="0" alt="Click Image to View Registry Information"></a>

The 225q coupe weighs 88 lbs more than the 180q coupe. 225q coupe owners are saying the same thing.

Correction: 225q TTR weighs 88 lbs more than 225q TTC. I don't feel that weight is the issue...
I think the issue is these crazy mods that Audi did to the suspension. I'm shocked that so many seem to be ignoring this, and trying to turn it into a physics exercise, rather than coming to grips with the obvious.<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.jpg" border="0">
