suspension Hey members, I dd a 1999 T/A A4, stock except for a kooks true dual system. As far as suspension all I've done is the panhard relocation kit. When I get on it the first to second shift causes the car to violently torque to the right. I am currently running the stock size 16" rims with BFG KDW's. It has the 3.23 gear ratio. The car actually seems top heavy and it takes some wheel play to keep it straight on the road. What can I do to the suspension to keep it on the straight and narrow. Thanks for you input!

I would look into some sub frame connectors and an aftermarket torque arm. The stock torque arm is stamped metal and really doesn't do a great job under stress. I would also recommend looking into some lower control arms and the relocation brackets. These parts really help the contact patch of your tire to the ground.

If the car is feeling top heavy and kinda loose its probably time to get some new shocks on it. I put Strange adjustables on my 98 and love them

Thanks for your input members, I appreciate the info. Does anyone offer a suspension kit with these items? Will I have to buy them individually? What is the best sponsor to order from? Thanks again.
