Project Car: 2018 Audi RS3 - installing the Bilstein B16 Coilovers (Non Mag Ride)
My first mod on just about all my cars typically is the drop. I love tightening up the look and feel of the car. I specifically ordered a car with Dynamic Plus package in order to ensure I would be able to get a set of coilovers on this car, I've done springs and HAS Kits (height adjustable springs) and have never had any luck on them, too much bounce and limited on adjustments. Bilstein was the first company to present the Audi RS3 with a set of coilovers, I had run Bilsteins on my 2003 RS6 as well as my 2010 S4 and was happy with both.
