Hi,

Have been given a Stealer quote of £500+ to replace both rear springs, which sounds extortionate. Standard S4 spec car.

Could anyone please advise on what I should be paying, and also what would be the pro's and con's of upgrading to a specialist setup such as H&R.

Cheers

you should not be paying any more than 80 quid. easily done in 1 hour.

If you can afford it i would go for the upgrade. I've had H&R coilovers and arb's for a couple years now, wish i'd of done it sooner. You dont realise how crap the standard set up is until you change.

They are very easy to change.... Cant see how they come up with £500......

I changed my rear suspension in just under an hour and it was my first time on a s4. That's a piss take.

Just a side question: do springs need replacing after a period of time or just when they break? i.e. RS6, 6 years old. DRC just replaced but not springs. Just wondered whether there is some time span/mileage when springs should be changed rather than waiting for them to break?
