An S4 suspension will not fit our cars, plus show me where you can get an S4 suspension for $80.

It'll fit, just doesn't make any sense because the 1.8T weighs less than the 2.7TT, so the spring rates are different. $80 seems a bit low to me..

I hope "less than 90k" is also "less than 20k" in this case for the price you're asking.

Exactly, IT WILL FIT, but the springs in the front of an S4 are stiffer to accommodate the heavier engine, so putting an S4 suspension will make the front of the 1.8T sit up high and look funny.

I don't know what you're trying to say, they have another 100k miles of life left on them. Best offer takes them.

NOTE:
Please don't post if you are not interested in buying.

Parts will be going up on Vortex and/or ebay if they don't sell by next week.

If you read what I wrote, yes they will fit an S4, but the front ride height will be off for a 1.8T due to the difference in engine weight. For a V6 they would be fine.

The first link you posted are for used Avant components, and also listed as best offer takes them. The other two links are for springs only.

(The Avant components would created a similar problem that the S4 springs would have. The rear Avant springs are stiffer to accommodate for the heavier back, and also for cargo.)

So where are you proving you can pick up an S4 suspension for $80?

If they would fit your car, I'd sell them to you for $100. Best offer takes them.
