Had call to dig up some part information across the various springs used on S2 & RS2 variants. Here goes for Coupe, Limo & Avant. Note the colour dots on the springs to help visually identify them.
Front - ALL S2 variants and RS2 Avant (B3/B4/P1)
Without Aircon - 895 411 105
2 x orange
1 x blue
1 x white
Rating unknown
WITH Aircon - 895 411 105A - this is stiffest factory front spring for S2/RS2
2 x orange
2 x blue
1 x white
Rated at 210lbs/inch (or 37N/mm)
Rear - S2 Coupe - 3B or ABY
895 511 115
2 x silver
1 x orange
Rating unknown
Rear - S2 and RS2 Avant (B4/P1)
8A0 511 115 CQ
2 x silver
3 x orange
Rated at 300lb/inch (or 52N/mm)
Rear - S2 Limo (B4)
8A0 511 115 CR
2 x silver
1 x orange
Rating unknown
NOTE the paint markings on rear springs of S2 Limo and S2 Coupe are the same. They are NOT interchangeable as the rear suspension topology is different on B3 vs B4. However, the paint blobs might hint that the spring rating is the same.
More spring rate information to follow when it comes along. For comparison purposes the rating of springs supplied by KW in their coilover kits is 70N/mm (400lb/inch). I believe that 90N/mm versions are also availble on request.
Rating of HR springs for S2/RS2 is unknown at this time.
To convert springs ratings from Newtons/mm to pounds-force/inch simply multiply the N/mm figure by 5.715 - this is a short cut for (25.4 x 2.205)/9.8.
