Hey every body i need 25 people to "sign" a peice of paper saying they would like Tein to develop racing springs for the B5 A4 1.8T these 25 must have a copy of the title to there car and must sign a "promise to purchase" thing. i think the kit would be around 250 thats what there other kits cost. if there is any interest i could get back in touch with Tein. thanx for your support.

 

I posted a question on the other post when this came up, but I thought it would be apprpriate to ask here, too.

Isn't Tein a JDM product?

What details can you provide on this product?
Spring rates, materials, warranty, service, etc.

 

Yes you are correct Tein does make parts for the Japanese Domestic Market but they just recently added VW and i talked to them about Audi i will contact them and ask your questions. and ill get back to you soon

 

ok here the low down

Spring rate: FRONT 7.7 kgf/mm = 431 lbs/in
Spring rate: REAR 5.8 kgf/mm = 324 lbs/in

Ride Height: FRONT -22mm = -0.9in
Ride Height: REAR -7mm = -0.3in

http://www.tein.com/info.html go here for compony info and to hear them brag about there product. the final price should be around $250

 

Are those numbers for the A4 1.8t, the 3.0, or both?

 

do they make coilovers with external damping adjustability for b5 a4 fwd? ie: tein ss, tein flex? i need new coilovers!! lmk..

 

No, Im sorry, they don't. They're just now THINKING about making springs. To answer imolas4, yes, these number are for all Audi A4 QUATTRO B5 (96-99)

 

I would assume they don't include the Avant wagon though.

 

Yes, imolas4, this includes the advant. the springs will fit any B5 A4. They might fit the S4. I'm not sure, I'll get back with you.

 

No... they wouldn't be able to fit the S4. It would have to be a different spring rate. The front end is much heavier with the V6 Biturbo. I'm even surprised to read that the 1.8t and the 2.8 can be equally accomodated.

Furthermore, the Avant requires an entirely different spring rate and setup in the rear than the sedans require.
