Howdy all, I am somewhat new, I registered a while ago but am just starting to get active on this forum. Ive got a 2002 Audi A4TQ that is officially 4x4 status and needs some love. Ive managed to pick up some Neuspeed race springs and Bilstein sport shocks that will be here soon and have no knowledge how to/ no tools to install them. I go to school at Drake University so I really dont have a place to do it either, but would gladly provide the beers for anybody that could help me out. Thanks gals and guys and :drive:

it would be a while until things calm down around here. my newborn son comes home tomorrow... but it might be possible to come to an agreement in a couple weeks here. im a mechanic and have done quite a few bilstein setups for people.

right on, congratulations on your son. My brother just had his first so I know how chaotic things can be :)

We've done a few B6/B7 suspensions up here in Cedar Falls/Waterloo. I'm sure between John and I we've done 6 or 7 and I'm sure Kevin himself has done more than that. If you'd be willing to make the drive up here we can see if we can get access to the main lift and make a day out of it.

Well, welcome aboard! :)

I can vouch for the 'loo boys...VERY good work. They pretty much did the whole suspension install on my Passat. Kevin, Damir, and Dan ROCK! :rockon:

Oh yeah...I suppose John and Andy are okay, too. :dunno: :D :D j/k kids!

If he/the 'loo boys can figure out a W8 suspension, he can do anything! :laugh: :D

But actually, now that I think of it, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The only real difficulty were the rear shocks/springs. Your car should be a breeze. :tu:
