        Wow that is a big difference are you sure all the springs are from a matching set? Looks like the front is lowered and the back is stock...

          Didn't think Spax had anything for B3 quattro (incl S2) - are you sure thats a proper kit ? Maybe it was long since deleted...

              Not sure on that one will find out.
              would it make that much difference not sure you can see that good in the pic
              but its got to be a good inch and a half.

                Had a look on spax web site there is no springs for the s2 listed so looks like i got stiched up
                well aint gonna keep it like that its not that good a ride any way
                what would you peps say was a good spring to go with.

                thanks liam

                    It certainly is noticeable in the pic

                    Front and rears mixed up would be my guess, the rears are a bit shorter than the fronts.

                        Take a wheel off, have a loot for a set of manufacturer markings or part number, post them up. Only take 5 minutes. Better still take some clear pics of what's going on.

                            i will try and take pic and have a look tomorrow for the part number.
                            it dont handle that good bit rolly in corners and very harsh over bumps.
                            cheers liam

                              Hopefully its something easy like front <-> rear swap.
