Suspension upgrade Q's

Hi everyone:

i have a "13 MCS with the sport suspension---original shocks and springs at about 54k miles---starting to feel a little 'used'.

Im looking to upgrade and get the car a bit lower. Thinking of the B8 SP Sports and TSW springs.

Is this a good setup----and should i get the WMW Suspension package from Way---id like to upgrade the rear sway bar so maybe this makes sense to get their package at the same time i get the shocks.

thank you!!

Definitely upgrade the RSB at the same time as the shocks - the incremental labor time will be very small.

Lots of opinions here on the forum about shocks/coilovers - decide what your goals and budget are and then research.

I have Koni Sports with TSW spring and it's a nice set up.

I had koni sports and TSW and liked that setup on my old car. I think that if I was lowering the car I'd do what you suggested, and try the Bilsteins and TSW's.
