H&R's for Coupe

[S2 Ant]

Jonas is that price for front and rear shocks and springs?

[Erikb]

thanks Jonas for the info, I will send them an email and take the measurements.

Yep S2 ant thats for a complete kit, shocks and springs for the rear and front..

[Jonas_R]

S2 ant,
yup that is what I paid two month's ago 710 euro for shochs and springs.
Works really great, nice loweing and it is still hard. But not to bad on 17" rims. And it handle's really great. And i can push it hard in corners, i have tried to go around 110 km/h in som 180 degress freeway entrances, no problem. But tried it, whille it was a bit wet, and the car began to slip a bit. Else my suspension setup is stock.

Jonas, do you know if they do also sell a set of H&r springs with koni shocks?. Maybe I can ask it in an email.

Well why do you want koni? I would pick bilstein any day over koni, if you are running the Hr springs since it is supposed to be a cup kit, so the bilstein dampers should be optimized for the lowering springs. Dont know if the koni dampers are that-

But dont know if they have koni, since i never considered buying that.

I want to change my shockand springs at this year or first thing next year, are there any other parts which are smart to replace the same time? The springs and shocks will be replaced by H&R springs and Bilstein Shocks.

thanks

Btw does anyone have M50 (or 52 as some lists say) front struts? For coupe it's always M55, but what about the B4's?

The upper strout bearings would be smart to change to, since they are out. I bought the green ones. Do a search on the forum.

I think that the normal coupe have M50.

thanks Jonas, I think I know what you mean. Dont you have these in blue and green, I thought the blue ones where harder/better, is this true?

Yup you have those in green and blue. I bought the green ones and they are working fine after my opnion.

[Erikb]

But can someone tell me the difference between the blue ones and the green ones.

[MikeNZ]

The blue ones were used on the later Ur-quattros. Apparently some S2s had them from the factory, but others (particularly later ones) had green, apparently.

Blue are supposed to be harder, with less deflection when load is applied.

There is a bit of debate about this, but in my opinion, Audi made blue ones for a reason. They cannot be the same otherwise why the colour difference?

Blue ones are more expensive. Part no 857 412 323B

Green now has part no 857 412 323D, but used to have a different one.
