Dear All,

First off, thanks to Karl for the loaner set of B+G springs to fit on my
car so it would not float on the stock springs, several months ago.

he mentioned it could be a bit on the soft side, and he was right. But the
ride height is unbelievably nice. (BTCC style. But on mine, the stock rims
and hubcap sorta ruin it a bit)

I would recommend it to anyone who wants the BTCC look. But the ride is on
the soft side. The loaner unit is now sitting in my apartment. If anyone
would like to try it, please get in touch with Karl - although I reckon he
might advise against it because its a few years old. I treated it with TLC
though. It was on my car for a good 3 months i think. I would be returning
it to Karl when I can find the time.

OMP Spring: I got a set of OMP springs from trevis. Those are stiff
springs! These OMP springs, I would definitely recommend to other A4
owners because the ride is still low but back slightly tilted up (Equal to
B+G but back 1" higher than B+G). But like YC Foo said, it is a bit low
for village roads with holes here & there. (On B+G, my rear tyre is just
slightly under the wheel arch - fierce mate!!)

From the stockist here, it takes about 6 - 8 weeks for them to order one
from Italy. It retails at RM680, more than the B+G when they stocked it @
RM550 i think.
