cant wait to get the bad boys on the car  :driver:

Ilyun what settings are you using for the dampeners - i'v been told around to be around 4/5 which is just about bearable  :evilgrin: for every day driving.

im not too fussed about going super low, seen this set up on a s3 looks just what im looking for .

looking to keep the performance as good as possible without been to harsh.





Oopps sorry, didn't revisit this thread until now... I have them on 5. 

Phil, you need to drive a car with these suspension mods and then you'ill realise how much of an improvment they make.  It is more noticeable on a remapped car travelling at an 'enthusiastic' speed  :evilgrin:  The Revo Stage 1 remap exposed the shortcomings of the standard set-up straight away, which is why I had the suspension mods done the week after.

^^^

 :confused:

the main reason i went for bilstein's was how easy it is to adjust them, you just turn the wheels to full lock crawl under the car and twist the blue dial as seen on the pics, 1 been softest setting and 10 been firmest setting, very simple no car-jacks and no removing tyres.

 :drinking:



Yeah but I didn't want to crawl under the car  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:  In all seriousness though, I wasn't sure where the setting adjustment dial was exactly, it was raining continuously and I didn't want to be soaked and wriggling under my car in that weather.

It has also made gear changes in dsg alot more noticeable, especially when down shiffting in manual mode - the feedback you get makes it feel like a manual.






I experience that too with my Stage 2 Revo remap... I'm a bit worried that its because the DSG is under a lot more stress than normal  :surprised:
