OMGoodness, well at least it's right now. Are you thinking of a homefry?

Any photos of it with the Avus 18 on it, in due course.

Maybe this should be a separate thread,

Hijackers..........Anyone got RS2 airbox and maf cheap?? Sorry...


Also, please advise on the following:


Can I mount rs2 Shocks to replace the S2 OEM originals but with the existing H&R springs - will they last or will H&R lowering see them off quick.....???

Koni not recommended as can be too soft too quick........come on, give me feedback........

[K Simmonds]

There's not a lot wrong with an H&R / Koni setup. If you want a more solid ride then Bilstien damper's are the one to go for. I have no idea of how durable either arrangement would be.

Brand new price for RS2 maf is very good from vagparts at the moment, it will fit on an ABY airbox too.

[LowlanderS2]

Can RS2 OEM shocks work with H&Rs ??

I would like to know whether they are shorter than OEM s2 shocks so can compensate for the -20/30mm lowering of the springs???

Any views out there???

Cheers

As far as I know, the RS2 springs are a fair bit harder ( and a lot more costly ) than the avant one's. I don't know if they would give a different ride hight.

I've been in a car with both koni's and billies and billies definately harder, i'm running koni's on mine.

Another variable is you tyre and wheel size. The standard 16" rim with a a 55 profile tyre will be a lot more forgiving than say an 18" rim with a 35 or 40 profile.

Currently running on Avus standard wheels with 205/55 16's with no intention to change at present.........

Opinions....??

[K Simmonds]

With the standard wheels Bilstein damper's would be the way to go if you want a firm and very responsive ride
