H&R's for Coupe

[porkkis]

Pekka,

Bilsteins + H&R's from ACF are less than 700€
That's what I call a fair price!

[PekkaS]

Pekka, where did you obtain the springs? ACF?

I think that install the springs and test. That's the way to know if they're good for you. Post your impressions then.

ps. the shocks you were about to buy from me are now sold

Installed springs & dampers last night, and now it´s totally ****ed up...
Front end dropped about 60mm, so it´s actually lying on stop buffers. Rear end is at same height as it was with original springs.

Car handling is horrible, and ABS is kicking everytime when speed drops below 30km/h.

Have to reinstall original springs today. That´s just how I like to spend friday night...

That doesnt sound right at all, which H&R springs did u get? the HA & VA's or just VA's?

Greg

Look for the previous messages. He has yellow ones. Now as the result is what it is, I'd say that the yellow springs are for t89 4cyl sedan!

[Greg_S]

yup me too. Ones i got for mine were blue 26939 VA if i remember right.

Greg

[YumyJager]

Got my new order thru today just want to make sure these are the right ones now.

all 4 are the same spring however 29939VA that right?

Greg

The springs you have in hand are for a B3 Coupe quattro. They will also fit an B3 quattro (80/90).

[Greg_S]

Ah thats alrite then, I have all four fitted now with no probs. Since the B3 and B4 are very closely related they seem to be the right ones.

As I told before, those yellow springs were wrong ones. But we found perfect solution... local company forged original springs 25mm shorter. Those combined with bilstein sprints & set of powerflex bushes work just amazingly!!! Compared to S2 with blue H&Rs mine is now much more comfortable, but still it handles tight corners at least as well as one with factory-built lowering springs.

Best part is, that forging cost only 100e and H&Rs were 300e.

Any side view pics of your car with those "model Vallila" springs? How much was the drop?

Here´s one. Compared to friend´s S2 with oem springs & dampers, I´d say it is about 35mm lower. Don´t know why rear end looks so high at the picture...

Those are nice wheels. What are they?

[Greg_S]

its the same with mine, the rear end seems higher too. Have to agree Kenny, those wheels look lovely.

Jonas, from where? Do you have to send your old suspension in exhange? The price sounds reasonable (for those who don't know, it's a complete suspension meaning shocks+springs)
