Default What are my options for lowering the TT?? I'm looking to lower it about 0.75 to 1 inches...

I'm not real wild about the added stiffness of coilovers (at least as discussed here). I have the Bilstein HD installed and find them just about at the limit of stiffness I would like to go... (world's 8th largest economy and they can't keep the roads in shape... pathetic) What are my options??? are there any???

Thanks,

Default I think this is one of the areas that you need to realize.....

that nothing is free, and in lowering the car, you are going to feel an increase in stiffness or harshness.

Neuspeed Sofsports (which I am not sure they even make for the TT) are a good handling compromise but they do not lower the car much (or at all)

I have the *regular* Neuspeed springs with stock shocks and 18" rims...I do not find the setup harsh..

Hope that helps

Default With Bilstein HD's - you have several options........

Softsports are not currently available for the TT but H&R, Neuspeed and Eibach all make springs that will lower the car. The H&R and Neuspeed will lower you about 30mm, the Eibachs slightly less. The Eibachs are the "softest" of the three, with the H&R's being the firmest.

Default I thought I heard that Cali is actually the worlds 5th largest economy now.... :-)

very interested to hear responses to the suspension question Ted... may consider springs as well when I do Bilsteins later in the year.
