Suspension Overhaul and ipod issue, 3.0i SE roadster

I’m running B6s with m springs and no issues. The ride is firm but that’s down to the dampers. I had the SE springs on initially as I thought that would be better on tough roads but the sport springs seem better matched to the B6s - more controlled ride and less wallow as the springs are sharing the work. I think the set up works really well for someone wanting to bash bumpy B roads - it just eats bumps at speed but no issues with grounding out etc

One thing I’d recommend you look at is spacers. Putting 15mm and then latterly 20mm spacers on the car has made a big difference to the steering in that it’s much less twitchy. Lots of different views on this but it worked wonders for my car. Suggest you give it a go.

I have this on mine too, overall I thnk it's a great setup. On the crap roads round here it's bumpy, but in a controlled firm way. On better roads at higher speeds the B4's feel great. I also had my top mounts & RTAB's done. Alignment due soon...
