I'm going to buy a full set of S4 springs from someone. He wants $100 + shipping for the set. If you want the front ones i'll take the rears? Then it would be $50 + shipping for each?

Let me know.

S4 springs on non-sport absorbers? Might not be what you want. Try to get the Sport(red) absorber(s) too.

If you don't plan on doing anything else to your car, just stay stock...

I have to say, I'd throw all four on. You won't be much lower, with or without the sport struts, but the ride and control is much better than stock A4 springs.

whats the mileage on the car? I have my stockers still off a 99 avant, pretty sure they are the same. If you just want to go cheap and buy a used one let me know.

I finally made my decision, i am going to replace the springs on my car. I am shooting for a more sporty ride by replacing the springs. I heard S4 spring, and many other options... i am not sure. Help please!!!! What would you do? or what have you done?
