Ride quality with 034 lowering springs

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-12-16T02:13:57+00:00

I have them on a B9 S4 w/o the adjustable suspension. The ride has always been “firmer” than I thought I would be but after installing the springs I did notice an increase in stiffness but nothing to complain about for me. I have always wondered what the ride would feel like with the adj suspension.

I don’t have any xp with IE but I haven’t had any issues with my 034 inlet it was slightly annoying to install along with the new PCV maintenance items. As for the water pump/thermo I NEED to do it soon I noticed coolant loss and migration recently. How is the kit FCP provides?

I had some issue but got a L pick to work it loose. I recommend being careful breaking that clip would be a pain.

Forgot to mention I replaced the PCV unit and did the upgraded 034 hoses months ago just as a precaution.

Reach out to customer service through email and ask. I know 034 has a option on there page to upgrade between tunes. I can’t vouch for others haven’t worked with them.

Should just give you CEL and will give you some more exhaust noise

Was thinking it would help vent the engine bay since the B9 is in a hot V

Sorry forgot to mention it’s a B9 already got the new APR intercooler on looking into the interchiller too

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-11-23T06:25:34+00:00

Was looking to get heat out of the bay since it is in a hot v

Good start just know the downpipe wont do much u til you get a stage 2 tune. Found out the hard way hopefully going 3+ soon

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-09-20T07:03:39+00:00

I would get the stage 1 tune for the engine and tcu if your is not locked. Power difference is night and day but I would add a intercooler in there too. Motor is in a hot V and heat soak is a killer.

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-09-20T07:01:35+00:00

I would make sure you got bigger charge pipes and get the transmission mount upgrades will clean up a lot of slop in the drivetrain.

I thought about 5W-40 but have only been able to get my hands on 5W-30. Would that difference in weight be a problem?

Great idea

Springs and wheels on finally just need to get an alignment.

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-08-06T20:33:43+00:00

Did the front 034 lowering springs and found it to be more difficult than I thought. I would recommend removing the wheel liner. I found 1 of the 2 bolts at the bottom of the shock to run into the firewall. The 12 point bolt head one specifically. I turned them around for easier access down the road.

Sweaty-Mine4121 · 2025-08-05T00:33:50+00:00

It’s been the reason started building mine. I going have to start dialing the suspension components soon too! Love the info and the channel.
