**** roads add to gdp. lol?! not sure a set of coilovers with delete cheaper than oem shocks alone is gonna be great. surely it would be mod number one. up there with the coolant silica bag. also it’s unlikely anyone who drops a ton of cash is gonna say they ruined their car and now can’t afford to fix it.
i’d either swap out the bad monroe oem, swap to b6 damptronic dcc or b6 and delete kit, depending on budget/preference.
will leave you with that other than to say very jealous of your 18” wheel swap. let us know what you do and how it turns out.
