new springs/shocks S2 coupé - options/availability

[newsh]

I have a set of S2 coupe springs that have been professionally shortened and powder coated, I bought them off one of the lads on here but I've never fitted them. I will get them out and take some pics. I think I might have a set of stock springs as well, not sure, need to have a look, last time I was into the suspension on the car was going from KW back to the stock springs and Konis, I think I selected the best set out of my pile of springs. Definitely had some left over.

If you've got a set of S2 Coupe springs going spare after sorting out the OP I could well be interested, not fussed about condition as long as they're serviceable... Will drop you a PM.

According to ETKA the the front KV, NG, NM, A7, 3B, ABY, AAH, ABC with Air con springs are available from Tradition, unfortunately all the rear springs are obsolete. Your best option is keep searching ebay or S2 / classic Audi FB groups.

looking for the non aircon since aircon is on ts way out

... if you are looking for something that cannot be bought elsewhere: Contact springcoil limited in Sheffield. ....

My car has non air-con front springs. I subsequently fitted air-con but didn't change the springs. Couldn't tell the difference. I believe the rate for 895 411 105A (front springs with air-con) is 210llbs/inch. Don't know the rate for non air-con front springs.

I did a recent refresh of my shocks, kept the original springs (orange, orange, blue, white front; orange, silver, silver rear) and used Bilsteins 34-030868 on the front and KYB 366008 on the rear.

I finally managed to source some springs, and bought the yellow Koni shocks. will be mounted soon....

Can I ask where from as I need to start looking soon for some new Konis and I might as well sort the springs out at the same time

after some delay, the car is finally up in the air...

so immediately the usual issues: the cap (#25) will not come loose, and the cover (26) and bump stop (27) seem to be NLA. But al least it seams autodoc do have an alternative for those: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/monroe/743...shock-absorber

Cut through the side of the cap at 45 degrees with a hacksaw until almost through above the threads. Use a cold chisel to part the cap and drive it off.

The aftermarket versions sold by Autodoc are not a good fit. Last time i looked, Tradition were still selling original covers. Bump stops more difficult to find.
