Default General QUestion About springs.

Ok,

their are springs for a car.

That say for 96-00 AUDI A4 Quattro V6engine. Would they not fit a 96-00 AUDI A4 Quattro 4CLY engine?


What's the diff between to cars? Besides weight.

they are made for the weight of the V6, it would not ride right. you can't tell me you can't find the right ones for a 1.8T.

well springs are the adjustment as far as just springs go.

coilovers have both spring diff, and more importantly, the perch on which the spring sits is adjustable up and down the shock.

It helps to use the right parts when replacing components on your vehicle.

The springs aren't right for your car. Get coilovers, or the proper springs.
