[A80Avant]

does anyone has one to share?i know maRS2 is the best for this,but he is hard to contact these days.I would like to see the looks as it is said that sports bilsteins on OEM springs tend to raise the car a bit.just want to see how it looks!
thanks

Hi Vasilis,
Its not just the "look" that will change with it Jacked up at the back. It will change the corner weights, throwing more weight forward.
Will make it more tail happy when it lets go. so will the softer sprintline shocks.

Drift car?

no im planning to make the conversion to lower the rear s4 bilstein shocks.There is a controversy about whether there is 13mm or 20mm lower so i had both measurements made.I just want to see a photo with them on,both front and rear so that i can see if the car is lifted slightly as it does usually with bilstein sports

RS2 on Bilsteins

Hi

I have just ordered the B6 Sport front & rear Bilsteins for my RS2. Now that I think about it, it did seem like my urS6 did look a bit raised when I put Bilstein sports on

Was this the right choice on OEM springs. Should I have perhaps gone with the B8 Sprint rear shock - this was for a lowered car?

Is there a way to retain the standard ride height with the Bilstein Sports?

Thanks

since i got it done already,here is a before pic
in this i have OEM shocks BUT all gone

after:

i would say slightly higher,but in a week or so,they will sit a bit more

Mmmm...I have to say that from the before and after pics it is difficult to see.

So...what is the handling like? Does the backend stay tucked in when you change direction quickly? I assume you are on standard ARBs?

Urm, I think the car will not change ride height with change of dampers. Changing spring length or height of platform will change ride height.

well,ride is a tad stiffer than OEM(but then again my oem setup was shot lately so i cannot say for sure),it feels like less roll on turns and i cannot say about the rear being the bilsteins only or the RARB which i changed to neuspeed im afraid.I can say that the car feels more neutral and has a tendency to push the rear out of position on abrupt turning which is entertaining i might say!!!

The car seems just 1cm higher between the 2 photos.Thats all.And it also may go away.
