Look forward to seeing what you think about these. I’m thinking about a set of these too once the car arrives.

One of the best modifications i have done on the 8V.

 

Night and day comparison.

 

If you have mag ride you NEED these springs!

I have seen before someone saying that the MSS springs transform their suspension in a 'day & night' way but my experience is far less a dramatic one. On my 8v with mag ride I thought it was no more than a mild improvement and was disappointed with the meager improvement given how much others have wafted lyrically how good they are, and how much they cost.

I’ve done a remote Mag ride calibration on a car fitted with just Eibach springs at a fraction of the cost

The owner said the car was transformed he was going to buy the MSS kit (which uses an Eibach component) but now he’s not bothering.

Have you tried them on a track / mountains / coastal route? 

 

Day-to-day they are just as comfortable as OEM but once you start to hit some fast sweepers or tight turns with camber you really get to appreciate them.

Night and day for me too. Perhaps yours are broken ;)

My first drive after fitting the springs was to the west coast of Ireland - so did plenty of tight, twisty B roads, coast roads & mountain roads. I did notice improvement of the H&R arb which was fitted at same time, even to the point of getting the rear end a bit twitchy & a touch of mild oversteer almost like the old days with a well sorted rear wheel drive, manual beast.

Have got car booked in to Audi to do mag ride calibration after much explaining to them what I meant and I'm sure they have gone off to Audi night school to learn up about it. Let's see if the calibration will release the potential of the MSS springs - will report back next week once done & then tested.

Mag ride calibration brings about the biggest change for most owners I’ve done it for.

I think the main issue, from factory is incorrect mag ride calibration.

Can't see why after changing to lower springs the 1st thing to have done is a Mag Ride re-calibration as its a no brainier to get the best out of the change & re-sync the suspension to it.

I've ordered a set of MSS and so will be in touch again mate. I wanted them for the height adjustability. :)

Hi, how is the remote mag ride calibration done? I am overseas... is it possible for myself and other?
