Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

As the ride was quite firm well controlled - and the Bilstein's are said to last 100,000 mile or more - I assume they have good life left in them - but that said - one of the fronts needs to be replaced due to a bent rod - that is why they came off & I switched to PSS9's.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the TechArt Coil-over suspension I took off my C4 available for a good home. New owner must agree to care about this fine German engineering & workmanship, and offer the TLC it deserves. Requires room and board in a C4, no C2's. Additionally, to make this new relationship a happy one, you will need to include a new set of Bilstein inserts in the front, and some updated Drop links. The estimated part cost is anywhere from $600 to $750. Now that may seem like a lot, but add that to the $1500 OBO Shipped to your door if it is west of the Mississippi. I am asking to consummate this relationship ... and you can see the result is still a great saving from the $3500 asking price of a new kit. So don't wait this great offer won't wait... the gavel is about to... TechArt PN 996.200.260.009

POST 2Original post

A couple of questions: 1) Why are different drop links required? Are they not included as part of the setup or does something about the geometry of this setup require parts other than stock? 2) How many miles are on the setup? Thanks, Shawn

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Shawn, This suspension came with TechArt links that are different length that stock. Part of this is do to the 30mm drop in ride height capability in the adjustable coil seats. I am not sure of the miles on this set as I am the forth owner. The PO thought the owner #2 had these put on - but Worst case they where put on Day one and the C4 had 75000 mile when I took them off. As the ride was quite firm well controlled - and the Bilstein's are said to last 100,000 mile or more - I assume they have good life left in them - but that said - one of the fronts needs to be replaced due to a bent rod - that is why they came off & I switched to PSS9's. The Bilstein inserts are available as are adjustable links.
