Default What are the must have mods for the suspension 2001 225 Q Coupe?

I read about over and understeer and all sorts of rumors but I am only a "so smart" kind of guy who drive too fast but not on a race track yet.

My car leans on ramps at 80-100 and this feels unsafe. What should I buy to fix the problem?

At a minimum Bilsteins, better with Eibach or UUC springs. Probably Neuspeed rear bar.

If you do not wish to lower the car, keep the OEM springs, add better struts/shocks only

Default You say shocks springs and bar?

Will this take away the ability for this to be a everyday driver? I drive on roads but like to take fast turns and high speed ramps with safty. Do you disagree with Jeff?

Default In checking out the link on your site ... Is that all you?

Love the sig. Showed it to my wife in case she ever drives the TT.

Are you in MD? Who did your headwork? What races can you say are best for starting up in?

Default Not at all.. my TT is driven daily, summer & winter.. you will be very pleased with the improved

handling & ride. Keep in mind that you want to do the shocks/struts & springs at the same time so as to either save time or money. The bar can be done easily later. My UUC springs dropped the TT just a tad under 1", does not seem to have much impact on snow driving and makes major impact on handling and looks.
