    Replace dampers and springs with coilovers

    Is it advisable to repalce my rear damper and spring setup in the k12 with a series of coilovers. Or should i get coilovers and get dampers and spring for the rear as per factory setup itself. I am not in need of lowering the car as much as shock absorption and ride height. My daily drivers has...

    Car Hesitating

    Thanks John. Will see if cleaning it works. Update: While looking at the engine cover i noticed one of the wires to one of the electrical connectors (top one in lue) is broken. Do you have an idea what this connector controls?
