UrS4 2.2T Avant project

It's only an example. It didn't measured it.
But I replace all mountings of the subframe. I don't think that it is 10mm there.

What rates and length did you choose for the springs?
Did you lower the steering arms and or turn them in for tire clearance?

Looking good!

These calipers and discs from the Tuareg or the calipers from RS6 C5 ?

These calipers(Brembo 18z) you can find from VW Touareg(350mm brakes) and Porsche Cayenne. Brake discs are Audi A8 4E 360x34mm.

Springs are 750lbs and length is 6"(150mm). I first tried 8"(200mm) springs but they didn't lower enough. Problem is that if I now adjust to really low settings, the springs don't stay tight when car is lifted up.

The steering arms are only lowered not turned in.

Can Bilsteins be shortened? At least Koni´s can be shortened in Bigem not sure if Motoral does it.

[ringbearer]

Bilsteins can be shortened but a longer tender or helper spring could solve the issue of the spring coming loose when the suspension is extended.

What rate tender springs are those?

[Thuppu]

150lbs

[ringbearer]

So they end up being a helper spring due to these heavy cars

[Thuppu]

The Golf Mk2 brake hose seems to be a quite good fit. Need only to make a bracket to secure it on the strut.

[Thuppu]

Brackets made...

[Thuppu]

Imagine a black wheel, damn these brakes look strong.




Rear Volvo struts need some extension and modification...

[ringbearer]

I like that rear strut option.

Koni is modifying one of their 80 series rear shocks for me to be double external adjustable with a threaded sleeve for a 2.5" coilovers spring. Should bolt right in but it is not cheap.

[Thuppu]

That's gona be good for sure. These are just basic bilsteins with 500lbs springs. Got them really cheap, but they need some work. If they are not good, then I have to think for another solution.

[Thuppu]

I think this will be enough for the rear calipers. They have so little work to do, so I wont even use the second fitting point.
