Audi 80 b2 suspension
Hi,
Does anybody know what coilover options are for the b2 Audi 80? Ive lowered mine -60mm all round on a spax kit - which is on softest settings and ride is good - but it isnt low enough!!!! (thinking -80mm might be about right) I cant seem to find much on the internet Any advice is appreciated! -80mm kit? available anywhere? Jon |

I think the concensus is custom springs on custom platforms welded on to make them into coilovers.
Isn't it going to be undrivable? Mine is a 50/70 drop 70 at the front, on springs, and the front is so hard it's nigh on NO SUSPENSION! Lol I'm planning on putting on the coilovers I have in the hope of making it softer!! Lol

I'm running coilovers on my 90. My set up is as follows:
4 x Bilstein B6 4 x 2.5" race springs 4 x conversion tubes I am happy with the ride height and have received positive comments it looks about right, but I am running 17" rims. HTH Cheers Chris

Hi
I have a FK cup kit on mine, 75mm front 60mm rear, 16" rims. You can get 'Bonrath' 15mm lowering caps from Venom motorsport, and apparently if you use the s2/rs2 'blue' suspension top mounts the front will be another 10mm lower, so 100mm is possible. |

That's interesting, what's a lowering cap?! Never heard of that. Not something to do with the top mount is it?
Therefore if I wanted to go lower on the back could I just lob a pair of these caps on?

I have seen the top mounts - but my 80 seems to sit higher at the back, so would look daft if I lowered the front more!
Where can you get the 'conversion tubes' from? Cheers Jon |

Mine were built and installed by Tim Cooper when he worked at QRS, but I do believe the tubes were bought from CompBrake as were the top mounts (which I have since got rid of).

They go on top of the spring, under the top mount. |

As mentioned Compbrake sell them as do Demon tweeks, there is a thread on here somewhere with pics of how to build them.

Have a look at this link for the front.
http://www.classic-audi.co.uk/forum/...ead.php?t=7459 For the rear you could use these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CoilOver-Conve...item4399f39e2a |
