Suspension Question...

Post by Ron » Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:24 pm

My S2 (2002) has just passed the 50,000 mile mark and i'm just wondering on the life of the Bilstein dampers and springs. It might be normal but i'm finding the ride a little harsh in town :( , it's fine on decent roads :lol: .

Would it be worth replacing them and would this improve ride quality a bit? What else would help?

Cheers

Ron :D

Easy solution... try my 135R in town, and then jump back in yours. Hopefully the ride in yours will seem much better again..

IIRC the bilstiens are servicable, aren't they?
