I find hard to believe that racing coilovers give a better ride than stock new suspension? I'm just saying not arguing or anything.

i have a B8 setup on my coupe and the D2 lowering springs on my cabriolet.
these are NOT true coilovers in the back but they have lots of adjustment capabilities which i think gives them the edge

you need two floor jacks
