my '02 NB suspension is completely toasted at 100k. the car goes around 20 mph corners on its door handles!

so i just ordered up a set of koni yellow sports. plus all the goodies :
1 x Complete Suspension Bolt Set - Struts and Shocks(A4)2 x Shock Bump Stop A44 x Strut Bump Stop (A4)2 x Swaybar Bushings Pair (A4)2 x TT Rear Control Arm Bushing (A4)2 x Front Control Arm Bushing (A4)1 x Right Ball Joint (A4)1 x Left Ball Joint (A4)2 x Subframe Mount (A4)1 x Metalnerd Strut Spreader Tool (A4)

am i forgetting anything??? would anybody go for poly bushings? or is that over the top for a work car/everyday driver that i sometimes spend 4-6 hours a day in?

poly bushings will be toast in no time, espescially if your roads are not ideal. the TT bushings will suit you just fine for a daily driver.

just curious...what is the Subframe Mount you mention? Is that the TT subframe brace?

nah, those are the regular subframe bushings. at $150, the TT subframe bushings were just way too expensive.

looks like you only bought one. you may want to get another to do both sides.
