Re: First suspension Mod? For drag racing I would remove the front swaybar its free and less weight the car has to carry on the topend.But if you buying something then I would say lower control arms.

Re: First suspension Mod? Do you have tires yet? You need a good sticky tire first or none of the other mods will do anything.

Re: First suspension Mod? I have an A4 so the 10 bolt should hold up for awhile. Getting some ET streets very soon. Was just looking for what i should get soon since its winter and i have to drive my car through the snow for the final year till i move. So i dont want to throw all the power mods on it till spring. So right now it looks like SFCs and LCAs are the winners.

Re: First suspension Mod? My 10 bolt has seen plenty of low 1.5 60's and is not showing any signs of letting go.
Of course I have an A4 but it still doesn't make ANY sense spending hundreds of dollars on suspension parts if you want to hook with street tires
If you have an A4 all you need is tires. M6ers need LCA's and tires. This is for street/strip and is my opinion
