Audi 80 Springs

geneandbolly · 12-12-11, 01:33 PM

does anyone know if the springs on an audi 80 1.9 tdi
saloon are the same as on the avant version?

I don't have ETKA to hand, but I imagine they'd be the same fit, but a different spring rating.

Always fit the right rated springs for the vehicle. Mixing up springs can cause serious handling issues and imbalance.

Yep, Ratings are different for rear only and different again if quattro...

Try here?

Depends on how low you want to go. Eibach pro kits are good for subtle 30-40mm drops whist retaining ride comfort.

Craig, I was recommended by VAG80 on here to look at the Supersport Sprint kits (one of Germany's biggest selling brands), they do a 40/40, 60/40 or 60/60 mm drop. Dave (VAG80) has a 60/40 it in his and it sits nice.

Look good value at circa £200 as well.
