K24R Sports Springs - Interest?

Would saloon be the same as avant (I know it obviously shares rear susp. as a whole)? Or should they be slightly different due to less weight at the rear?

My second project set would be for saloon.

I'll have a look on the parts system but I'd have thought that the 1BE sports suspension part numbers will be the same...

S2 sedan springs are different from S2 avant at the rear I think.

Best check when I get back. I know B3 and B4 are different, as are quattro and non-quattro.

Saloon springs are different. They are unique to the ABY saloon.

Front & Back ?

Don't have the album here...

Sorry my bad. Forgot to put that in. That's what you get for typing replies without reading them back.

Fronts are the same for Coupe, Avant and Saloon.

The rears are unique to each variant.

Ok, cheers. They're the same basic design though and so physicallyt fit, even if the rates are slightly different?

**S2central.net** · 14 January 2011, 16:27

Rear avant and sedan springs will be same design / shape of course - B4 rear is common - but yes obviously some difference in the rate or the dimensions to accomodate different load carrying capability in the rear between the two. I would wager that an S2 Avant rear spring would stiffen up an S2 Sedan but the ride height will be too high.

If only those blobs of coloured paint on the springs gave us some insight into the rate... that would be too easy huh

**BIGGYIN** · 14 January 2011, 21:55

Would this set up,be suitable for a q90 B2 type 85(saloon)with an inplanted ABY?(or similar 20vt):mischeif:

If so,there might be some interest on another forum I,m on.

If you could come up with some prices(when available),I,ll pass them on.
Thanks,Karl.

Tis a good point but the B2 is a lot lighter.

**Rusty** · 15 January 2011, 10:03

I'd have thought that the fronts would work OK, sitting a little higher than designed but with about the right spring rate but the rears will sit too high. Such a specialist and diverse application that coilovers would be the best bet there.
