Are you changing your springs out pretty early and for those that have a manual how is it to drive for street manners, seems most have A4's that are using this cam.

thanks but I was talking about how often. Seems with the abuse those springs are taking they would need to be replaced every year.

This is old myth.
with today's quality product like PP and PRC, not to forget overpriced 921s, the springs will tolerate more than we give them credit for.
Basics: Do a spring maintenance every year (remove, measure). If up to specs, you are good for another. (every 15K miles)

I was told to check every 5K miles, but that cam is coming out. Its not to horrible to drive, just doesnt produce power were I want it to be, not would be alot more fun if i went to the track often.
