You're very thorough, that's for sure. May I ask where you got all the info about the parts for your Turbo? My thread? If that's the case then my congratulations to you, sir. It took me a long time to get everything together and you're essentially doing it in one shot.

TBH I only joined this forum last week and I ordered all my parts end of last year.

I found it funny when I started reading this thread as I was like snap

I did my research myself and with some advice from my suspension guy over here in the U.K.

If it was all down to you I would be saying a big thankyou.

I think you still deserve a big thankyou anyway for making me feel better by confirming that I have taken the correct route

I guess because my shop that I trust implicitly recommended the Modes because of the way it's designed as a "floating" setup compared to the ones from RSS. I'm satisfied with the way it turned out since I had all kinds of groaning issues previously with the stock shock mounts.

Hmmm so the RSS ones might be too stiff for the road?

Where as the modes would be a little forgiving?

I didn't say that it'd be too stiff. Comparing the two, the shop and I both felt that the mode plates were better designed.

STATUS1 is an unknown quantity at this point
First iike to say hello as i am new to teamspeed. Thanks so much for the right up. As I am looking into upgrading the suspension in my 08 tt. I bought the car with eibach springs already installed but had the opportunity to drive a friends car with the damptronics and h&r sways.... Felt a world of difference. I can only imagine how the. Ad feels with the links and control arms. Where can I get the drop links and pillow ball mounts?? I am located in northern nj Thanks

Status1, sorry I'm late in getting back to you. I'm not sure if I understand your question. You're asking me where to find the droplinks for the swaybars? I got the pillow mounts from Mode.

lopro, I haven't added anything else since then. It's perfect the way it is right now.
