The BC coilovers you've been looking at are from Taiwan and not of a good quality. This is reflected in their price and also the ride quality. If you decide to stay with the magrides, I still have the ones I took off mine and would sell them for a reasonable amount. email me if you're interested. trevor.hartland@btinternet.com
mailed you ..…..

I have seen this car in the flesh, looks nice and I personally am a fan of the colour.https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2...
What I would say though is that I think this was earlier in 2019 if I recall so the car has been for sale for atleast 6 months+
mine is atlas grey with carbon blades which I think is the best colour (imo) but it is a bit boring, as audi is always grey/ black/silver & nice to see them different , the red is really good as well, I nearly purchased one few weeks ago that had been resprayed in the new audi (destroyer grey) very light sort of primer colour , it looked stunning but didn't know because it had been re sprayed would it de value it on re sale ? respray is better than wrap though for resale & must last longer

yes about right then £1600 for 4 , they sent your deposit back all ok then ? its either that or coil overs for £1200 ? just worried that the ride may be harsh.
did you think about changing or did you want to stick with originals from the off ?
Why would you buy a car like an R8 then fit £200 a corner suspension to it!?did you think about changing or did you want to stick with originals from the off ?

Depends what you want from the vehicle. Plenty of owners on R8Talk run aftermarket suspension options, albeit ~£1200 is the lower end of the scale.
I have to do something as mine is f
ked !I like original suspension buts its £4k to buy the same/original new , so have to look at best way out .

Why can't you just replace the single shock? Or are all four bottoming out?ked !I like original suspension buts its £4k to buy the same/original new , so have to look at best way out .
I really hope you don't have to fork out £4k after just buying the car!

Sorry to hear about your troubles OP however there has been plenty of talk of pre-purchase inspection in here, and this goes to show why it is recommended.
OP
If you bought from a dealer and pre existing faults exists it’s for them to fix / prove they didn’t exist at sale.

The orange car had been for sale since early spring, as a minimum, when it was 68k. Personally I love the colour and it has the right seats imo. Still top money for a marmite colour compared to others.
My concern is that it has sat so long it will potentially have issues when put into regular use, many of which might not be covered by warranty.

To get 1 shock done is a good idea I didn't think of that !I really hope you don't have to fork out £4k after just buying the car!
the only thing is if I change to different set up (like springs etc ) I would have to get them all done obviously
but if I get the original serviced is a good idea , as long as the rest don't go after .
will have a think and thanks .

yes I know but the history / miles/ 1 owner etc was all so good & car is mint so didn't bother , I did try to get ricky who was recommended but he didn't go out to cars any more / audi want you to drop it off, so just took flyer , it might not even be a shock yet as I just heard a knock over the odd pothole , will find out by Monday but just getting ready for the worst case in case … never mind sSorry to hear about your troubles OP however there has been plenty of talk of pre-purchase inspection in here, and this goes to show why it is recommended.

Is it worth doing one? One of mine (passive) is misting now on the front of the car, I was thinking I'd need to do both? Does it require a geo - if so surely do both otherwise when the other fails in 6-12 months I'll be into another geo. Sorry to derial
