New suspension

[MNlotus]

I decided to take the plunge and start ordering parts for my wide track front suspension. Since I'm doing this i figured id do all the suspension parts now and get it over with. First, i wanted new upgraded coil overs. I use my car for street use mostly but may use it for future track days. The car i have is a 2003 S3 with the dedion suspension. I saw some on 7speed,

Would these nitron sports be good, and would they work with the wide track front suspension? And what about the upgraded spring kit that they talk about, would this be a good buy?

any ideas on what would be best for a street/track car?

I have the Nitron "pro" 1-way adjustables from Westermann. I'm pretty pleased with them on the track. They are much stiffer than the stock Bilsteins. I would prefer the Bilsteins if it were mostly a street car, as the ride is noticeably less comfortable, but the Nitrons aren't brutal.

 

Switching from the stock Bilsteins to the MOG Nitrons, I noticed less roll/dive and the ability to take bumps at speed without upsetting the car too much.

 

If you don't plan on running slicks or at least R-compounds, the stock Bilsteins really aren't a bad setup for the track.
