    Questions about adding sport suspension plus to US spec car??

    Does anyone know the difference between the sport suspen and the regular one as far as parts are concerned (ie shocks, springs, rollbars, ect). Thinking about adding it when my car comes in. Any thoughts??

    "Changing the standart suspension to sport suspension is possible (you need different shock absorbers and springs), but for the price you have to ask your dealer"

    WOW! Those are boat anchors.

    12.3 x 2.2 = 27.06 lbs
    14.5 x 2.2 = 31.90 lbs

    Hard to believe!

    First post here, so be gentle.

    From what i have read audi dumped the Eruo seats for some that supposedly fit our fat arse's better

    sunroof, power rear windows, extra safty stuff in the bumpers... all that adds up.

    For me the killer is the seats, that is just flarkin wrong imho.

    I would be willing to bet the 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile times will be slower on the US version then the Euro version.... 300 lbs is a big difference.
