I know I need pics, I will take some right now. I’m just not so proud of how it looks until I get it painted…which will happen some time after it runs 100%

edit: nvm camera battery is dead, I will get some later after it sees a touch free carwash.

> I’ve heard of this, but can not find a detailed thread of how to do it. The threads I have found are all really ambiguous and the people end up using washers to make it fit, I want it to be 100% legit oem fit. If you know the parts list with year and model, and how much needs to be machined and where feel free to post it as everybody i have asked on audi forums have been no help. I will likely be ordering coil overs from you in the spring then.

I ordered a direct kit from 2Bennett. There website is [www.2bennett.com](http://www.2bennett.com)  
I carry both 2Bennett and 034 for the money 2bennett stuf is better quality and fitment its hands down a lot better then 034.

This is what my front 2bennett coilovers came out when I was done with them.

$525 for the kit. It can use any shock available for the coupe quattro. I used koni’s. Theres non-adjustable, internal or external adjustable shocks.

Well don’t spend too much now because it’s inevitable that stuff will break on this car. Like $400 PS pumps that like to eat themselves, or IAC’s, dry rot suspension bushings, or bruned CPS’s. The joys of an older abused five slug audi…

JVG’s control arms FS are good, I rebuilt them.

I think we may have some other duplicates of shit that he’s purchased three-fold over because he forgets the stuff is here already.

the 2bennetts are worth the money. If you end up getting the kit from Jon, drop the OE strut housings off at his place with the inserts when ready and I’ll do the necessary press/weld work to assemble them on the cheap.

so many people here jumping in on the 7a/aan quattros now.

:rofl yeah it’s going to be a huge difference from the way it sits now(with blown mounts) Just opened the box and they sent me a red pipe when I definitely ordered black, but I don’t really care what color it is so it’s going on anyways.

For just the trans or for the engine as well? 034 accidentally sent me one track density engine mount and it was damn near solid in comparison to the street.

I have all street densities in the S4 and they’re perfect so I went with all street for the 200. We’ll see soon how those are.

the track densities are basically solid delrin in the billet mounts. When I put those things in the 200, it was a fight to get the bolts all lined up and it as 034 machinist is a dope and couldn’t get things 100% right(they’ve gotten better though).

We put all four mounts in front. Damn drivetrain doesn’t move at all. the street densities though i think are just perfect. unless you’ve got some stupid tight clearances on a manifold or DP then I would stick with the SD’s

I need to finish that thing up now that jvg got all the parts he wanted/bought. just a bit more wiring and it should fire right up 🙂
