Suspension & Wheels |
Wheels: In 1999 I could not resist the special offer from TSW on the Essen Motor Show: TSW AVUS 7,5x16 with YOKOHAMA A520 215/40 R16. I needed new tyres anyway and with this offer I saved about 700DM compared to the standard pricelist. I am sure the higher fuel consumption has made up this saving by now!!! |
Suspension: To overcome the bodyroll while cornering I decided to go for Koni Yellow Adjustable Shock Absorbers. For the daily way to work (curvy road) I prefer a hard set up while for long motorway travelling I go for the more comfortable soft setup. The Konis offered a 25mm lowering, which I did for optical reasons only (Small wheels in too big wheel archs look terrible!!). With the low bodykit the car is frequently grounding. A further lowering with sports springs was not advisable. So I kept the OE springs. |
