Standard ABY coupe Suspension

[kingfishers2]

Anybody got some lying around?

[Rocco]

it is not the same as the 3B coupe suspension??

because i got the 4 3b stock suspension for spare

[kingfishers2]

i think the hub bolts are smaller on the 3b, i had a bit of a nightmare trying to roll an ABY on cq suspension, i think the 3b shares the same struts as the cq.

Only the very early 3B's had the 12mm strut bolts. They were all supposed to be recalled and replaced with 14mm hubs struts bolts ect. That said I have seen 3B's with the 12mm bolts still in place. The 12mm struts can be drilled out to 14mm they are then the same. 3B and ABY springs are interchangeable but are slightly different, ABY being 10mm lower I think.

And the front struts are 52mm vs. 50mm i.e. it's pretty much all different (but not by much).

Spink is breaking an ABY coupe, that will yield what you require

Cars were recalled and replaced with stronger M12 bolts. Audi then changed the design to M14 around the middle of 1992 across the range, not just the S2.
The info on the recall is still on VOSA's website ►► Link

Maybe, but not the same inserts..... CQ and 3B S2 inserts are very different.....

I think the rear shocks were leaking oil when they were removed though.
