Hi again guys.

My 8's suspension has been pretty bad ever since I got it. The previous owner put on some extreme lowering springs, meaning that the shocks got destroyed pretty instantly. The car rides extremely rough and handles quite loose.

So I'm planning to upgrade the suspension with some Koni shocks and Tein S-techs. That is pretty much settled in my mind after reading about other people's great experiences.

I am also considering purchasing Progress Tech swaybars and Agency Power endlinks. I would definitely like some stiffer sway bars, but are the endlinks going to be worth it? I'm not even sure of their function, but I guess that they will help the swaybars be in the optimal position?

Also, whats the deal with bushings? I don't know what they are, but people rave about polyurethane bushings for some reason... Any insight?

Thanks.

Hey, its great that you have done your research and know what you want.

Endlinks are totally worth it. stock links are very thin and break often, I went with RB adjustable front and rear links they have been on for 35k now. You are right endlinks help the sways to perform at their optimal level.

Not so sure about the bushings, i have seen so many and read alot about them. My understanding is, stock bushings are made of rubber and over time they tend to dry out, break and so on causes the control arms and other components to rattle. Whereas, polyurethane bushings last longer and gives a firmer feedback.

Hope this helps
