Default S4 coilovers?

Hey everybody I found an offer for s4 coilovers off of a 2000 TQM for $700. I have a 96 2.8 Q. Was wondering if they would fit. the guy said they will fit any b5 a4.

here is a link to a picture of them

Does anyone know what company they are? cant figure it out.

Thanks everyone

those are h&r coilovers. if you put s4 coilovers on a a4 they will fit but the ride will be stiffer then if you got the same coilovers for an a4 because a s4 is heavier then an a4. has a larger motor.

The spring rate would be pretty stiff if you had a 1.8. You would suffer from stiff bounciness, which imho is better than soft bounciness. However, since you have the v6 2.8, you should be fine.

how much would you pay for them? what is the life expectancy for these coilovers?
