Yea, they are a fairly new company I believe. The only thing that grinds my grits is the warranty. 1 year...LAME! Hmm, HSD Coilovers look interesting too. I'm gonna make a list of the decent coilover manufactures that we have talked about than as I learn of more I'll add them. others feel free to add some too KW Bilstein PSS9 BC Racing Stance Cusco zero 2s | |

| The Focus RS isn't sold in the US. Are you talking about the Focus ST? It's ok, but I'm not really that into it. Plus, it's not even supposed to be available until "early 2012". I don't think I'll wait that long, but we'll see.

F that. A3 is a great idea. That or an e90 330 6 speed, fun as hell to drive and decently priced these days. | |

| Yeah I realllly like the A3 so it's still at the top of my list. After just a stage 1 flash it would pwn the Focus ST too. After talking to Chris though, I'd be going for an 08.5+ due to the mid-year change from the cam follower on the FSI to the new chain driven setup on the TSI motor. That cam follower is a major clusterfuck for VW. I really like E90's too, but I love the uniqueness of the A3. | |

| Haha yeah. 2 problems:
It's like 70 grand+. They aren't selling it here.
Besides it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to make the same power by modding a regular A3. I'm sure you could buy the bumpers and stuff too if you wanted. | |

| Yep, gotta be 4 doors. I considered a mk5 GTI but I don't think the 4 doors look as good as the 2. The A3 on the other hand, is the opposite. | |

| so change of plans, i dont think i need or will necessarily require coilovers, i will most likely be fine with new performance shocks and lowering springs, with a 2 inch drop, which will give me a better and more acquired look then what i am at now, also it will be a lot cheaper for me to do, what do you guys think? | |

| yea i know, after watching Nick and Alden raise their suspension, and all the work involved in doing that, changed my mind, also i would be somewhat at risk when doing coils on my car, mainly because the wheel usually hits the collar of the coils | |

| the Neuspeed springs have a drop of 2" front and back, the H&R Springs have a drop of 2" in the front, and 1.75" in the rear, so i still need to measure the back and see what would look better | |
