Today I pulled together the new parts that will hopefully be fitted to my A2 this coming weekend.
In no particular order:
The above will compliment the ATE ceramic discs and pads already fitted.
- Tom's list... https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/the-definitive-suspension-parts-list.27044/
- Monroe Reflex shocks
- H&R sports springs
- H&R front and rear anti roll bars
- Meyle drop links
- Service - air, oil and panel filter, plugs and Castrol Edge 5W 30 fully synthetic oil
Can't wait...

Spent the day with Robin and Jeff (Mustang-owner) at Stealth fitting the above and servicing the FSI. I learnt so much today. All went well, though the front anti roll bar needed quite a bit of work to fit - sub-frame loosened due to the restrictive access of the exhaust on the FSI.
The A2 handles like a dream now, the rear anti roll bar makes such a difference, tightening up the back end nicely. As a package the Monroe shocks, H&R springs (25mm drop) and H&R front and rear anti roll bars transform the driving experience and generate significant confidence from behind the wheel. The FSI seems to like it's new additions. Fresh oil, plugs and filters made for a smooth and punchy return leg home.
A big thanks to Robin and Jeff - I'm one very pleased owner.

Sounds good Darren, all we need now is to see a pic of the car.
I'm thinking of adding a rear bar to ours could you pm me the details?

Put my new wheels on and very nice they are too, the ride is very good which I’m quite surprised about!
What do I do with these now?

Did the same on my 1.4, I could not live without these mods.
Though, I am pretty sure the guy who fitted my suspensions, damaged the shocks absorbers. I wasn't looking all the time but saw him at some point using an air gun to tighten one nut and I am sure it said on the instructions not to do that.
During the " Beast from the East" period I was happy having my 16" winter tires.Good idea but two problem with that
1.The tyres have only done about 1500 miles or so
2. We don’t get that bad weather around Bristol (that’s jinxed it!)
I might keep them and see how I get on with these new ones as I’ve only driven a couple of miles on them so far!
