not cheap, but you better be saving up for a new rear. maybe even a new tranny. just get the car running then do additional mods

DCC is right. They have a roller bearing that needs to be pressed in, followed by a new trunnion, then the next bearing is pressed in, and a washer on both sides followed by a snap ring on both sides. The stock have a limited range on movement and this setup eliminates that for one. You'll never need the full range of the stock rocker most likely, but still. The stock have the needle bearings and they will spit them out occasionally, which will most likely end badly. Its just a little extra safety for your motor. I think the kit to rebuilt your stock rockers is something like $260.

Just for future reference.. what are some popular bolt-in rears for our cars?

Well if I had my motor out(which will be sooner than I though ) and was gonna upgrade on parts. My list would go something like this.

UMI K member, dbl adj lower and upper A arms, send my tranny to Tick for a Viper upgrade, aluminum drive shaft, Moser 9" rear or M9, lca relocation brackets(pending which rear), adj torque arm (pending rear) for starts.

His rear will be fine (a4)..

I have a friend that ran cam only, he ran 10.8 @122 with a 1.3 60' on a stock 10 bolt and stock gears.. Obviosuly he was on slicks too.

The A4 doesn't shock the drive line like a M car does

Good luck with the car bro
i bought mine used so i just slapped em on my car and left the settings alone because i liked the way it rode. i know its a little firm in the back because the previous owner had a 12bolt and they weigh a little more.

i think mine was like 2 sweeps from full hard in the front and probably the same in the back.

thanks. i started the car up last night and everything was perfect. i was worried it was going to be a nightmare and a bunch of issues but everything went well. i bet you cant wait till yours is up and running again.
