H+R coilovers

Post by s4yogi » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:58 pm

Is it possible to fit H+R coilover from a s4 avant onto an s4 saloon, What is the difference as they are listed as different part numbers

I presume the spring rates for the rear are different to cope with the extra weight of the Avant.

Just in case you haven't seen the item on ebay here is a link:

I won these :-)
hope they fix my handling up, I think my current standard setup is a bit 'tired' after 110,000 miles
Also hope my Sportec 18"s fit inside the rims (which they dont look like they will) or il have to make some decisions about which to keep!

im also confused there cos ARBs are £250+ on their own. and the RRP for coilovers is about £800! share the knowledge, this is for everyone elses benefit as its obviously too late for me!
