I have the V6 front springs but the rest is stock. Do you still have your front sway bar on your car? I removed mine. Seems to let the weight shift to the back tires better. Doesnt handle as good but with the 3.5 MT on front it doesnt really take a curve anyway.

any problems with it yet
This is its first year at the track but it has been run on the street quite a bit. No problems as of yet. It does do the bounce off the rev limiter thing but PCMforless is going to fix that for me.

Yea it seems to help. Like I said it seems to let more weight shift to the back off the line. Lets that front end come up a little more and helps me stick. Not to mention that thing is heavy.

Digitalyz noticed the lift on the front of my car off the line and removed his and he said it seemed to help him stick a little more also. He blew his rearend shortly after..

Have you seen the video of our cars running?

If you have an A4 then you should be ok. That A4 doesnt hammer on the rearend like the M6.

yeah they look good down the track, im would love to get down to where you are, once i get back home im gonna take the front sway bar off, remove the passenger seat, back seats, spare/jack, and see where i can get.

Where are yall located? ya my 10 bolt didn't like the power I was throwing at it. I only hooked it decent once and that's when it blew (3 weeks ago) . M6 and 425RWHP don't mix well with a 10 bolt

A4 will hold up decent with a few mods to the rearend, the M6 no way I am surprised it held up as long as it did. I started powershifting last 3 runs and boom
