Comfortable lowering spings?

[Julian Iversen]

Hello.
Does someone have experience with some comfortable lowering springs for an S2 Avant?
Would like to have it a bit lower but still keep a comfortable and good ride quality

I don't think lowering springs can ever be that comfortable, go for KWs

As long as you stay with the same amount of coils if possible, then shouldn't be too bad...IMHO as thats what I have done on my 90 7A ( same shocks...)

K.A.W. springs is what you are looking for.

Sküll. Just a bit strange they lower the front 45mm and rear only 30 mm. My car is higher in the rear. Looks a bit strange

H&R's tbh. They are the most common and give a tad firmer but without losing all the comfort. When you lower a car, its never ever going to be as comfy as standard. Sayign that, I have been running H&R's on my avant for years and prefer it with them on.

It would take some pretty expensive springs and dampers to get any ride comfort on a 1.5+ ton car with a fairly basic suspension design... Having been in a KW V1 equipped B4, I can't really say that it's any better than my Koni & HnR coupe.

I think you've got to decide between looks and some sort of comfort really... Even OE springs on uprated dampers are pretty poor

Maybe a set of KW V3s or something in the £1500-2000 region would work better but unless you're minted, that's not really what you want to hear

I have Bilstein B6 and stock springs now.

cant confirm that, as on both cars that i had this springs on, i had the option to adjust the height on the rear:

I also have this, i lowered mine and went straight back to the standard springs, too low and not really a benefit in handling for me, too many pot holes and speed bumps around me made it of no use. the Bilstiens feel great with original springs

And how is the ride compared to stock dampers?

I dont know really. I didn't drive that much in the car before i changed them

Just fitted my "new" wheels today, it looks very high in the rear

Alpinweiss with lightweight OZs... nice choice

Does look rather high at the rear Might be worth trimming a partial coil out of the rear springs to drop them down...

Sadly its Casablancaweiss. But my plan is to paint it alpinweiss
