Lowering Options for Audi 80 Cabriolet

[audi-aston]

Hi guys,

As title, im struggling to find any coilovers for my 80 Cabriolet (1995).

Is this an impossible task? Have i just got to stick with a springs and shocks kit? If so what are my options there?

Also, i have to ask. Could i buy any Audi 80 kit? Are there Coupe's suspension set up the same as the Cabrio?

Any help appreciated!

You could fit coilover kits to the front legs, The kit can be purchased from Bambridge on the S2 forum.

However the rear suspension on a cabby is different to all the rest of the audi range so something custom would have to be made...

You need to make sure you get B3 chassis parts. Although the car is a B4 (chrome grille) the running gear is B3.
Audi B3 80's 90's Coupe's will fit (on quattro versions the rear suspension is different tho)
Audi B4 Coupe suspension will also fit.

Would these fit?

It says Audi 80... But im still not sure! lol

I stand corrected, i thought the B3 80 90 Coupe stuff was the same

Tonks would know

I had a cabby with a coilover kit from KW, at least I'm sure the front were coilovers but IIRC the rear had threaded sleeves aswell. Drove fine btw.

Edit: KW variant 2, €1204,- on this side of the pond: http://www.extreme-carstyling.nl/pro...roductID=95986
