Default Elusive Lowering Kit!

Hi,

This is my first post on the forum... I have an Audi 80 Quattro Avant 2.6E as a project.

But I cant find anywhere that has a lowering suspension kit for this specific car, almost any other 80 a suspension kit is easily available, but this model seems impossible to get one for.

Can anyone help ? would be very much appreciated, as the old girl needs a good whack with the lowering stick!

Thanks for that Bazil, will look into the kit, see what price I can get one for.. I didnt think a S2 Kit would be any good due to difference in weight of front end of car... due to engine differences etc ?

Well had a quick check... HR Kit is springs only and doesnt say avant, unsure if it can also be used on the Estate.. and if it can what shocks to match to them...

If they are not right for the car... I will take your advice and get parts for Rs2.
