[Yaz]

Ok thanks for your input Eric

Does anyone else agree or disagree with this?

It looks that way, yes and the b3 saloon.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for this info, so the coupe setup will fit on a cab right?

According to Kate
The cabriolet (92-00) uses same springs as coupe non quattro (89>96) saloon 1990 > 1992 (b3)
The V6 coupe / cab use front shocks 8G0413503B

The rear shocks have a different part number but that doesnt mean they are different.
Coupe rear shock 895513031D vs vs Cab rear shock 8G0513031C

Hi Caterpillar,
I just want to know if shocks and springs (mainly shocks) are compatible?

If they are, then this increases the options for aftermarket suspension kits.

Thanks
Yaz

what are you need.. the spring, and shock setup or swaybars?? I will think the old rubber bushings around in the front and rear are shoot too.. together the bad shockasorber, springs and rubber bushings, make the car feel like a boat in water...

Hi all,
I hope someone can shed some light on this matter. I have done a quick search, but I'm still not 100% sure.

I'm currently working on something for my cabrio which in turn should help other members on here too.

I want to know if the any of the A80 models be it coupe, avant, saloon, typ 89 or B4 etc share the same suspension as the cabriolet models.

From what I have found so far is that the coupe typ 89 uses exactly the same setup as the cabriolet or vice versa. Is this correct?

Can someone confirm this for sure please?

Thanks in advance for your help.
