Default 60 ft

I have a serious dilema. I bought the car with sportlines installed by the dealer I got it from, and was going to change them because all I hear is bad things. But get this since all my mods in my sig. the car is cutting 1.59 60ft with them on a full weight, stock 3.23, A4. Now what would be expected with a change to Strano's and would it work as good or better...NO BS!!

your car runs good.. as far as the springs go, strano's will be far superior to every day driving and track but drag i would think the softer sportlines would be better. either way, definitely look into some shocks.

That's a pretty damn good 60' time. If you're happy with it, don't change them. If you start having problems with them, change them.

thanks guys I am very pleased with the times especially the 60ft. considering it is full weight plus some UMI 3-point subframes, tunnel mount torque arm, non adjustable lca's, and panhard bar. The UMI parts are heavier and added a little weight but I think what they have added in performance was well worth it......KUDOS to UMI for making nice products.
