a3 s line 06 suspension

[sutty]

Hi guys, thinking of doing some suspension upgrades. dont really want to spend too much and wanted to have a bash at it myself.
Nothing too major just want to tighten things up and hopefully help life of the car.

Any of u techs got any recommendations?

many thanks.

Best upgrade you can do.

Leave it stock!

S-line spec is probably low enough, and definatly firm enough.

fair enough. what about bushes etc. worth changing?

If its done mega miles, replacing the arms 2 top & two bottom, so that all the bushes and ball joints are replaced, can make then feel better, like new even.

But if you mean changing the rubber bushes for polly ones, then I dont know anyone thats done it, so couldnt say, personally I wouldnt think there would be much improvement for alot of agro to fit them.

If your thinking of doing any front suspention work be aware audi seem to use magic bolts that corroid at the speed of light, I've had to get the gas tourch out on cars less than a year old to removed the top wishbone to upright/wheelbearing housing bolt before.


I forgot to say, with the A4 of similar vintage to your A6 the handling can be made alot more lively (less understeer) by fiting a larger diameter rear anti roll bar, most poeple fit the RS4 one, as with RS4 brakets it goes straight on.

Now I dont think you can do the same with the A6 & RS6, but if there are aftermarket anti roll bars available, Eibach etc. That may be the best bet, they are far easier to fit than springs/dampers and or polly bushes and to be honest far more likely to make the car better.
