Kit, sounds like your setup ties in nicely with my original thread

can anyone point me in the right direction as to where i can get new oe springs and a rs2 front anti roll bar,cheers

Probably get them off here secondhand with a wait or Audi should have the springs as everybody here went for aftermarket therefore leaving Audi's stock alone.Audi wont be cheap but will be quality. Rs2 arb might be different though.

Ray,

Very simple - KW Version 1's - that's what I have - better than H & R for comfort and better handling IMO.

Speak with Danny at www.dnaautocare.co.uk. he should be able to do you a good deal on price and fitting. PM if you want more details.

Cheers Ed
I'm thinking KW 1's anyway so will take the plunge and get some in the next few weeks if I don't like them then it's good bye S2 and get my self something more modern there is an RS6 for sale by me for £6000 been for sale for three yrs though so either to much to run or it's a dog looks nice though.

Only joking ref getting shot of the S2 iv spent to much money on her and she makes me

Hi Kit
I must admit the ride was ok when we had the blast in yours mine is fine on normal roads it's just the cattle grids and the one particular road that I drive on every day back and fro from work 6 cattle grids and two uneven dips it's a bit rough to say the least and I have also noticed that there are no bump stops fitted to the struts I wonder if that makes a difference I forgot to fit the new ones

I would say not as they cover more than one model and S2 being top of the tree has IBE sport suspension.I agree audi prices are high probably at least £450 for 4 but if you have a S2 they are perfect.

Cheers Andy, yeah now I've got the later spec rack fitted as well the handling is pretty dam good for road driving even on poor surfaces.

I'm going to get my alignment done again soon, need to swap out a rear wish bone before hand as well as change the sump gaskets and windage tray. Going to go for a degree more negative camber on the back and a little more on the front, will get as much castor as poss again and reduce the toe out on the front axle to the min tolerance as per your settings. Thinking of going to see the same guy that did yours, sounds like he's happy to take his time and get it spot on as opposed to near enough.

Yes, he was excellent.
