I wanted those stiff compression schock absorber because I want to keep th e OE spring to have longer travel of the supension for those bad back B road i have here down south of france and also because those beefy front schock absorber should prevent flex (diameter of the traveling part almost double to the OE Boge).
But theire is no kit for S2 avant or RS2 from Bilstein
So I decided to get front one's from coupé S2 and rear one from 2.7T S4 A4
The front where easy to fit with the QRsport rose joint top mount as it is a direct swap.
The rear where a litle more tricky!!!
They are the same length but the part who stop the spring is higher by 20mm wich means that if I fit them like that my car would be 20 mm more high from the back.
This part is hold by clips in a groove so to get the right hide I made a seconde groove 20 mm lower.
