the trick with these cars is to know beforehand which "less expensive" parts will work or better yet exceed the oem replacement ( which is rare whether its upgraded OEM or gt3 parts or porsche motorsport by way of example ) vs which do not or we install to the detriment of the overall running of the car. tires are one. shocks/coils whatever might well be another.

i would be proud of knowing exactly where and when i CAN save, not how much i spent. lol

Never like them in friends Audi's. Poor lifespan, they do not hold up well for track or even street use prior to blowing. Spring rates and dampening is all over the place resulting in unusual weight shifting.

Been running H&R's for fifteen years. Never had an issue and have two sets with over 100k miles on them.

Honestly I mostly mean well but a suspension is not where to save money. If you put in a relay switch etc that's off brand to save a few bucks maybe but still I will pay up and buy name brand. Its hard to get quality these days period and will be rarely found in the discount section.

BTW I was impressed with the customer service on the phone and by email.

Their website was also very helpful explaining how the system works.
How low are you?

a little hard to tell from that angle but seems like about where I'm at
I'm approaching 20k miles on these and I don't think I'm bottoming out...I'm surprised you are
