RS4 suspension Bushings, control arms is different than S4?

Post by Alexb76 » Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:20 am

I am in process of upgrading suspension and I was wondering if RS4 had any other suspension parts (apart from springs/shocks) that were different than S4?

Things like bushings, control arms, bumpstops, etc...?

I remember on my GTI, we used some TT or 20ed bushings that were different... wondering if it's the same here.

Thnx

PM me your email and ill send you the part numbers for the RS4 and S4 suspension if you need them.

Only the Front wishbones are different on the RS and the S4.

The S4 is 4D0 407 151 P

The RS4 is 4D0 407 151 C

The RS4 one is a little bit more expensive.

The rest of the parts are exactly the same. That being the guide links and the upper links for all four corners.

Thanks, you got PM.

So, bushings are the same too? How much is the RS4 wishbone?

btw, my car's got 47K miles (75K Km) on it, shall I change any other parts while doing the suspension?

Prices are there attahced mate. Sent on hotmail to your addy.

Those prices are a little old. From November. All part numebrs are there. If you do all the suspension then should be okay. Get some patent parts. They pretty much the same in quality and design. But you pay 30% cheaper.
