Things to consider when lowering your car
Rear camber - adjustable arms
Top mounts
Rear shock bolt n10428101
It all depends on what you after so things to consider:
Cheap lows with height adjustment
lower but maintaining comfort
handling and adjustable
budget
longevity
track / race use
Aftercare......
Also worth considering is fitment, do you need shorter drop links, will you need spacers for the shock body to clear the wheels now

the color and the wheels are magnificent
It’s nogaro blue LZ5M & wheels are Rota D154
Every video is school day! Thanks😊
That's brilliant, always nice to know im passing on information that others may not know or maybe haven't considered before, thanks as always mate
thanks for the coilover cover tip
That’s a better height now dom 👍 my civic had the coilover socks fitted aswell great idea
sits perfect mate and the socks look like a great idea 👍
That tool definitely would of made my life 10x easier when changing the old shocks off my 3.2. Car's looking great Dom!
Thanks Matt, it is certainly a blessing thats for sure
I would say thats sitting dam good👍👍
Nice too see your new ramp in use 😎💥💥
thanks mate, absolutely blessed to have got it
That looks a perfect height for the track Dom, love those spring covers!!! and great to see your lift in action. Interesting to see the air flow ducting to the brakes, that will probably save the discs from melting on the ring! Had my underside painted, really good idea to do that.....much easier with a lift though!!!
Yeah low enough it still handles well but not too low to drag objects with me, the cooling ducts work so well on track, when on a track day you can literally 2 foot brake at every corner and you wont lose the pedal, catches others out tho haha
Dom, cars looking nice mate. Learnt a thing or two with those coilovers covers I’ve a shall we say neglected set of Stance so I’ll be cleaning them up and getting some of those. 👍
Mate that sits so goooood 😍
Thanks buddy, need to get it out and give it a proper good clean, its only have a couple quick washes since last summer its looking horrible!
Looks like a good height to me, sits really nicely now.
Thanks buddy, seems like a nice even stance, now to drive it and see if it stays like that haha
That car lift is amazing
It really it a game changer for me
Looks really nice
thank you, im happy with it, didn't want it too low, the glacier one catches speed bumps on the way into my workshop haha
Real nice stance
My standard quattro left hand TT drives well comfortable and steering is good to up to about 100 mph. Over that it feels too soft not so confident to push it around. I was just thinking next step lowering to fast road springs 40mm. As the cost goes well up changing both shocks and springs..then more thinking I will change both get the job done. Then anti roll bars etc..Yes car stance looks fine as standard but lowered looks better.
Very true. I got 40mm springs for my TT, and the front still almost looks stock. The rear dropped nicely, but the front sits too high.
Its very annoying isnt it
really like them wheels
They are great looking retro style wheels, a swine to keep clean though ahah
Looks perfect 😁👍much better.that lift though 😮 noice 😁👍
Thanks 👍 im very pleased with how it looks now and the ramp just makes it that much easier very happy chappy
Bilstein B8's are amazing if your looking for fast road use. Got them both on my TT and BMW. For comparison the shaft of the damper was near enough twice the size of the stock OEM.
Thanks for than info scott, i really enjoyed the comfort / performance they offered just wanted to go that little bit further with adjustable suspension
Great job. Nice stance pal 👍 (started using Lanogaurd a couple of years ago on the MK1 great stuff 👌)
Thanks buddy, im super pleased with how it sits now, not a massive difference in looks just doesn't look unbalanced, plus handles lovely now
Some nice wheels on that one ⚠️
thanks buddy, i really fancied that sort of road rally look although i already hate cleaning them haha
Aye time to get the toothbrush out on those 😬
Looks better mate
Thanks mate, looking forward to seeing Ted again soon! been too long
@@TheParrottBros it has mate hopefully Standford hall
Gonna replace the 2 front mount bushings and a new street dog bone and PS P-sensor but I’m still thinking about the new RAMP 😂 I have only 2 jack stands and 1 jack floor for my poor stock TT Bam
Good 👍 vid
looks perfect sat at that height now 👌 I neeed one of these lifts or one that is drill operated! 🤔 be so much easier to do work on the car
So i looked at the drill operated one but ive had one in the past and its a faff to use, you need a decent drill as it takes quite a lot of strain to lift and lower, i have been using scissor hydraulic ramps prior to this, you drive on them then pump it up, work great but are very heavy and a pain to move around.
Thanks i am really happy with the stance of the car now
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. TT 👍.
Why thank you sir
@@TheParrottBros 👍 😉
looks great Dom!! I bought a 180 a few weeks ago myself, does anyone know a good brake upgrade like these brembos? I love the look of them
Nice wheel on the noghi, what are they?
What are those wheels!? What size etc? They’d look lovely in bronze on my black TT. I’m yet to go through all your vids and the insane amount of info. Thanks for all your hard work on the channel. It’s much appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words about the channel, means a lot! They are Rota D154's 18 x 8.5J, ET30. They give it that sorta rally look / old school vibe. Just a swine to keep clean haha
Do you know what measurements you had for front rear? Got B16’s and this stance would suit be fine. Save messing if you know the coilover measurement of your setup?
I dont im afraid, remind me later in the week and ill measure and take pics for you :)
I'm trying to get my control arm replaced on my 2005 audi tt 3.2 ....the oil pan is getting in the way of the bolt.
On the front you have to drop the subframe to get at the bolt properly unfortunately
can you send me the color reference and the wheels type
Love the lift mate that’s a right bargain I’ve just paid not far off that for some bloody polystyrene race ramps🙄. That sits much nicer now 👍 quick question I believe that’s the suspension I have I struggle to adjust the front suspension as it’s so close to the cv boot (mine prob sits a bit lower 1 finger gap if that🤣) any suggestions? Just want to see what the difference is, very noticeable difference on rears.
Also just finishing lanoguarding mine seems really good stuff just makes the car smell like a farmyard🤣
Good stuff
Thats mad! i am very pleased and blessed to have got it, going to be a massive help going forwards!
Adjusting wise is always hard work, unloading the shock / spring makes it a little easier ( taking the weight off the shock / spring) as long as the threads are clean its a slow process as often you can only get about 1/4 of a turn at best each time.
Not yet smelt the stuff but i will be getting a mask thanks haha, specially as i dont want to get any in my beard aha
Thanks for that. I wouldn’t trust myself with the spanner thing to adjust height🤣 it’s just the valve on the bottom for dampening/rebound think your right though if it was jacked and not on a ramp there will likely be a bit more room.
I’m sure your well aware of it but I’ve been doing the underneath and been well impressed with neutrarust well worth giving a coating before the lanoguard bit of extra protection and transforms the look for such little effort
im so lucky i was about to change my supsension on mine. I found some b6's. Do you have any opinion on those?
They are decent shocks i would happily recommend them, what springs are you using them with?
So my friend is offering me some lowering springs that are h and r, should I take them and will they mess up my suspension in a bad way like the tire scraping the fender. I also have an Audi mk1. But I have no coilovers we would just be replacing the spring. Is it worth it?
H & R are decent springs and offer quite a nice ride height / stance, the issue with fitting any lowering springs on old standard shock absorbers is you will increase the stress on the shocks, make them work harder and likely reduce there life span, a lowering spring should be matched with a shortened shock absorber but i have used lowering springs in the past with stock shocks and its ok, just so you know all the facts
The gap with the bilstien eibach combination is a problem. I have them and have the same gap. It is meant to be a 25mm drop but it is not- it's factory. really annoying.What are other people using?
That’s it mate, it’s like it needs about 1 coil removing from the front springs haha I partly blamed the powerflex top mounts too
@@TheParrottBros yep- that’s part of my set up too. Really annoying because the ride is good!
Hi Dom
Im after new springs fron and rear on my audi tt coup bam engine 225bhp quattro do you know the part numbers and where i can get them from
There are possibly 40 variants. If you have original factory Spring Still you may be able to see the paint marks on there. This will then relate to a part number, failing that. Speak to someone like Coverdale Car Parts give them your registration and they should be able to advise what you need.
Thanks realy appreciated have got oe numbers off Audi but a few places said couldnt help or dont stock item
What size wheels / tyres are these?
They are Rota D134, 18 x 8.5 J Et30
Where can I get those rims from mate ?
Those rims will be for sale in the coming weeks, if your not uk based they are called Rota D154's
Looking at a car advertised and it says B4 bilsteins - most stuff i have seen says B12-B14s. Ever heard of B4s on a TT ?!
Yes B4's are a stock equivalent made by BilStein, an oem repalcement if you like
Ah ok cheers, so not necessarily a performance/sports upgrade, more of a refresh of suspension keeping similar characteristics ?
Nice, I have e question I life in Belgium so the roads are not that very good. I use my TT as e daily, I want to overhaul the subframe. Is it still oké to putt in the blue powerflex bushes all around the car, car is already lowered on kw1 variant. Will thr bushes not to hard. Or is er e better like less hard pu bushes that you now?
By adding powerflex or superpro bushes you will stiffen up your car quite a bit and its not a particularly nice ride if its your daily car. New rubber bushes will still transform the car as the 15-20 year old ones currently on there will be tired and have play. Unless you plan to do track work or want a road track car i would opt for new oem on most and just polybush the front wishbones for a bit better steering feel
