Lowers: 30
Spring Marking: Front: VA 29312 VA Rear: HA 29312 HA

Yeah I found the same thing bu then I looked a little deeper into various other ads and they were described for ALL variants !!!. I am guessing the Cabrio would have the heaviest back side so would have the highest springs to compensate?.

Audi Rs4 Avant

Then found this link to a set in the states that I am guessing would be for a saloon that has completely the same numbers !!!!!

Its the final digit that differs (i.e. -1, -2, -3) and I cannot see that marked on the spring!!!

[RichieRS]

Really can't find anything on how to determine what springs are for what so gonna see if I can find some SS+ springs for the rear and if that fails then I will take the chance in getting another set of H+R's and just hope they are different!!!!

Not sure if this helps in any way but this is mine on SS+ all round




And this is with SS+ on the rear and H&R on the front. (in this pic the front looks a bit lower maybe the way I am parked but looking at the car generally it sits level front and back). I am not sure if I still have them or not, I will look but may have the rear H&R and front SS+ springs lurking in the garage. If I do, then they are free to anyone that they can help out and that can collect from SW London

If Richie doesn't want the rear H&R's I'll take them mate.

That looks spot on buddy

The front looks the same height as mine so if I can drop the rear to your level then jobs a goodn

I'm guessing the rear H+Rs are for the avant?

Are these the ones needed?

I would say so buddy. If I have no luck sourcing some SS+ then I'm still happy to go halves on them!!!

[Rw@@dy]

I'm thinking about asking unit20 how much they are and also fitting costs. Maybe could get them done on the same day??

If you can get them from someone else apart from europerformance I'd so, I think they're useless.

If you read the fine print, they don't stock much themselves. They say they dispatch in X days, but wasn't clear to me was that was from a warehouse on the continent somewhere. The package slowly makes its way across to the UK and then is given to the most useless courier in all the land; parcelforce.

My spacers took about 3 weeks to arrive.

They don't answer emails.

They rarely answer the phone.

I tried to return the spacers as I lost patience and I ended up getting some from virdee - and the <beep> things went out for delivery and then landed back with me!

Avoid!!!

Advice taken

I would possibly do them myself although if Unit20 where cheap enough I would save myself the hassle

As said. I now the SS+ are definitely lower so will see if any of them pop up over the next week. If not then we are on

Ok no problem

[RichieRS]

So myself and Rw@@dy went halves on a set of H+R's.

Just taken the first spring off the car and it's pretty clear to see they were certainly not the right ones for the saloon!!!

Guess they must be for the avant as they are the exact same number other than 2 letters!!!

Looking forward to getting another 1" lower now. Just gotta try and get the new ones in!!!!!!

[Rw@@dy]

That's good Richie! Gonna sit good after that

[MikeFish]

That should fix it!
