Ok, im looking to do some suspension upgrades to my 95 A4. So far its lowered a little (wasnt done by me no clue what spring or strut combo) and thats it. I feel like a need a little more traction (car has basic bolt ons nothing crazy), and wasnt sure what parts look pretty and what parts do the job. Im not looking for a full race setup, just a car that can get off the stoplight and also take some turns. I do not want to do a ful race setup like with the K member and everything just bolts on like the torque arm strut bar, etc.

Most people start with LCAs, relocation brackets and a panhard bar when building suspension. If your just looking for traction, pick up some DRs. :)

I'd start with some drag radials to begin with. Then move on to SFCs and a strut tower brace. You'll also need the LCAs and the re-location brackets since its lowered.
From there you could do the panhard bar and then move on to a different torque arm.

for traction get a DRs,TA , LCA, PHB you should hook 10x better.

You said your car is lowered already so make sure to check if you have an aftermarket pan hard bar already installed since they are usually done together to get the rear end alligned after the lowering throws it out of whack even more then it was from factory. Good thing to check for before you go ordering an aftermarket pan hard bar and then going to instal it and finding one in there already.

Since your lowers go with Relocator brackets and LCA's, but in suspension a TA will be your best bet, a body mounted one of you have the money to spare.

Ok thanks guys. Yeah the car does seem to sit lower, it also has fat street tires on it so its hard to tell how much its actually lowered. As far as the rest of the suspension it is all stock i have it up on the lift now, everything is stock. I may also do sway bars up front and in the back.

If you want to lower your car(if it isn't already) and want to add aftermarket sway bars. I would suggest going with strano lowering springs and strano hollow sway bars. They are about the best pieces you can get for our cars. Sam Strano also is the most knowlegdable suspension guy with 4th gen fbodies you will ever meet and if you ever need help or advice you can call him up and he's always more then happy to help. Great guy with great products.
