Interested in the arogostas you mentioned can retain Oem heights. What's their spring rates? Does the rear retain Oem spring mounting? How are they for daily driving in crappy west coast California roads? And finally what's a cost estimate?

Just realized you had an 09. Could have been a rear timing cover gasket issue. They're known to degrade and cause a loss in oil pressure.

You can get the Ohlins for far less than $3K. The prices on the Ohlins Japan website are their version of MSRP. KTS is running a sale so they come in less than $2500. The AST's, once you option...

I just adjusted my dampers and went up six clicks rear (total 14 I believe) and three up front to 18. I'd never run the rears that high and it was definitely firmer but it didn't seem to be blowing...

Actually I think they're spec'd out from the start. Where the RS3 has an options list and doesn't have all the goodies here in the US (think Premium Plus as a start), I think the TT-RS is already...

Very true. The Aragostas are one of the few that'll allow for ABOVE OEM height if you so desire. Everything else drops you an inch or more below stock height. I can't run any lower (less than an...

The TTRS came in $10K more dear than the RS3 unfortunately and it has the same engine/drivetrain. Still, it is a mid-3 second car and lighter than the RS3, lower cg, and I'm sure, ultimately...

If you plan on running a track-only tire setup in the future, and exclusively, I'd wait for the new rubber. I've never tracked the PSS tire but I do have them on my car now and they're a very good...

The 7AT is marginal even with the Stillen kit which produces far less torque lower in the RPM range than a positive displacement supercharger. I can't imagine the transmission lasting long with any...

Ha! That gave me a good laugh and I'm right there with you. :tup:

Don't even get me started on Mazda. I'm a former third gen RX-7 owner and super modaholic when it came to that car. Imagine your Z with 600hp and 1000 fewer pounds to haul around. I'd get my hopes...
