H+r Audi Rs2 Springs

[rob martin]

can someone clear this up for me please. what is the difference between the H+R springs for the s2 and rs2 ? apparently, both will fit the rs2, but the rs2 ones are nearly £300 more expensive !
anyone got the answer ??

The R

[rob martin]

that's what i was thinking. so basically, there is no difference? would the rs2 ones be an extra 10mm lower in overall height as per the difference in the s2 and rs2?

[lind4hl]

afaik no, but i might have wrong??

Spring rates are different between the two

If you're after a set I have some RS2 ones for sale in another thread.

I have some H&R coupe springs only 3 though. The fronts are same between S2 and RS2 AFAIK though, can have them if useful to you

[lind4hl]

Spring rates are different between the two

why would they be that? same car, even same spring rates on rs2 / s2 with ac

[Jamo]

Ask H&R, the RS2 springs are harder sprung for more performance based feel.

[lind4hl]

okay, no offence sir

[Jamo]

No offence taken, was a serious response, only H&R know why they have done what they have done

[Rusty]

If someone can measure the springs for wire diameter, major coil diameter and number of coils then we can see what differences there are.

[rob martin]

there must be a difference to warrant the extra money ?
