Coilover Suspension on a Budget Solo-Werks to the Rescue!

Great video, but the dude that installed the ST set must be pretty cool 😎

For what it’s worth SOLOWERKS are THE budget set to get in the euro car world. I just picked up a set for my b8 S4 so let’s hope everybody isn’t lying lol

I chose Solowerks to replace the worn ST kit for very specific reasons. I’ll note that the ride quality has been better than I expected for such an inexpensive kit. 1. The entire SoloWerks kit was the cost just replacing the worn front struts from ST. 2. It was half the cost of a new complete ST kit 3. I didn’t want to return the car to stock. Lastly The ST kit last nearly 50k miles thanks to the records from the previous owner. If these last half that I’ll consider them a stop gap.

@@CrookedMustache honestly same here. I’m on Bilstein struts with lowering springs. Not sure how many miles on the set but I bought my car with them already on at 129k miles and I’m now at 195k. Would like to eventually go to air but I also wanted to get spherical mounts that are $$$ and I got this kit for $425 for Black Friday. So this should run better than the totally worn bilstein struts and as long as I can get ~20k miles then that’ll be a win.

Ya running solo werks on mk1 TT roadster- really harsh ride but I'm sitting about 300lbs lighter than stock.

I haven’t found them too stiff, unless the ride has just deteriorated that badly on the previous setup and these just feel that much better by comparison
