yeah hopefuly coz it wont cost me a thing if that is wats wrong coz they will sort it!!
the front springs must be stronger than the back and that would explain the way it handles and the harshness over bumps yeah

[butchers2]

hello again.
i had a look at the springs they are the right way around.
this was the only part number i could find on them (spax s002060) does any one know if thes is the right part or just wrong springs all together.
thanks liam

chucked the part number into google to see what happens

SPAX Audi Type 89Q Spring Kit - Lowering: 35mm - S002060

http://www.247ppd.com/product.asp?ProdID=900122

the kit sounds like it is for a 20v 7a engine coupe and not a proper s2.

That could be the reason why the front sits down lower because of the excess weight.

[Error404]

yup, a good extra 60-80 kg if not more more over the front in the S2 i'd guess.

i'd be taking them back and getting something decent anyway, spax might enhance a Saxo, won't do an S2 much good at all. Since you've been mis-sold should be able to get a straight refund i recon.

You really get what you pay for with springs and dampers

[butchers2]

thanks for that peps at least i know whats wrong just got to sort it now.
A lot of peps use h&r so they must be ok yeah where would be the best place to get them from.
thanks again

The back just doesn't look lowered though whereas the front looks about right.

Even allowing for the extra weight of an S2 this ust won't make the difference that the picture shows. Something isn't right but that's just my opinion and I haven't had a crawl around the car to investigate.

[butchers2]

wat else could it be if it aint the springs
if it was the shocks it would be very bouncey is it right?
thanks liam

Shocks shouldn't affect the rideheight that much.

Perhaps you need to change the springs to ones suited to the S2? Who sold you the kit? Doesn't look like it's particularly suitable...
