well first off springs are around 300 and h&r race springs or neuspeed race springs seem to be the best. the struts run 500 and most people go bilisten or there are koni. although u can find a coilover setup for 850-2k. if u want some great prices on suspension check out www.hopupracing.com they also usually have free shipping on products. most of anyone is going to tell u to lower ur car anyways once u put a set of wheels on by the way. its a big thing in the audi community. ive done everything else and now its time for me to get my suspension but dont know if im gonna go coilovers or combo setup. i just purchased another set or wheels..i did have 18 hp design 5 spokes but now i got 17 roja forged aluminium 15 lb race wheels in a black finish. i couldnt pass teh deal up. picked em up for 500 shipped with tires off ebay. now i just need to find someone to buy 18s

so in your opinion what is the best way to go if say i said i sad 1200 to send on suspensions? The other question i have for you guys is can the S4 front bumber fit on the A4- B5? I really like that look.

And FINALLY this morning i dropped my A4-B5 off at my mechanics for timing belt, water pump, pulleys, themostat change. Is there anything more i should be looking at doing? (77K miles)

for $1200 you could get yourself a nice set of H&R C/O's are a bilsten and neuspeed spring and shock combo and have enough cash left over for a 21mm rear sway bar from neuspeed

and yes the B5 S4 bumper will bolt directly to your B5 A4 no problem

BTW what year and model car are we talking about for the waterpump on 2000 and down the pump is external and I would not worry about it until there is actually a problem save your self some cash

Also we are talking 1.8T right ?

Thanks for the imput so far i found this:

http://www.hopupracing.com/bigasprshabs2.html

http://www.hopupracing.com/ne2frdrand2r1.html

is there anything more i will need to get in addition to this? apart for my 18" rims

the other question i have abt this is were it says 2.0-Inch reduction does it mean i can only reduce it 2.0-Inchs and not less... ?

what is the difference b/n the C/O's and the Spring and Shock combo?
