Each end is a new beginning.

Skull,

being lazy, what were the previous springs?

As mentioned, any similar photos of the front before and after?

Kind regards.

Looks perfect on those new 'billies' there Rok.

How are the new springs feeling...KAW?

The springs... they are a little soft, but since the compy is my daily, and having 18" wheels, they are just perfect.

[Skull]

what does the front look like though?

I will make some pics later. They front and rear are now quite matched...

Bram: i agree, the arch line and the wheel line match much better

Same springs as beforem i just changed the rear dumpers.

Since the rear B8 bilsteins are designed for the A4 B5, and the a4 having a shorter spring, the bilsteins rise the car on the rear for something like half an inch.

Here you can see where the difference is:

Thanks Skull,

Does that mean if I put A4 say 1.9tdi rear springs in the rear of my B4 2.6 V6 Cabrio it will keep the comfortable factory ride, but lower the ride height by an inch or so?

For the front use B4 1.6 no a/c springs to achive the same effect of inexpensively lowered, but still retain the factory ride comfort?

Or have I lost it altogether?

Kind regards.

coupe and cabrio have totally different rear suspension, so no go for the rear.

for the front you only need OE sport springs, from an s2 would be great.
