Suspension was stock...
Posted by: scarmcar (10356) on 2015-05-07 19:33:46 In Reply to: Was the original stock Allroad suspension OK, or did it already have an aftermarket "upgrade" posted by berniebenz on 2015-05-07 18:44:53	Share \| Report

then went to Arnott GEN II bags with stock dampers, then went to Arnott GEN II with Bilstein dampers, then Blau coil spring conversion kit, and now PSS9 coilovers. I mus be crazy. I've posted in several different places, including with the Facebook Allroad owners group. I'm finding that there are more people in the general C5 forum with coilovers, as compared to in the allroad world. I'm also looking into becausebags and Ohlins. When I asked my wife if we should get a new car, she said no, and that's what happened as a result.

        I'm with you on all counts with the PSS9s, especially the rear being too stiff at any setting.  -  JediJoker  2015-05-08 04:37:47 (348 views)
