  • Convertable handles like ***

    Ok, still getting used to the vert over the coupe, but i seem to notice a BIG difference how it handles when i hit a pothole or just normal bumps on the road. I thought it may be my tires, but they are all aired up.

    Does the vert handle that much worse than the coupe? Or should i get my front end looked at?

    c'mon man! you should've know it wouldnt handle as well.

    The coupe has three connecting beams in the roof
    The ttop models only have one
    The verts have NO beams in the roof

    Get a strut tower brace, see if that helps =)

        Convertibles come with extra bracing in the chassis. It's still not enough, and verts need sfcs more than others. See my sig for details of what I did.

        I would guess my car is about as solid as a coupe without sfcs. I can live with that, but I can't live with being confined :D .

          Yeah i know they wouldn't handle as well, but i didn't know if it was that BIG of a difference. I'll just get some support for it, and see if that helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

              SLP is also now offering an "X-brace" if you have an A4 vert, that will bolt up to any aftermarket sfc's. I plan on getting that when i order my kbdd sfc's.
