Question Ride height question?

I was wondering if I put Audi B5 S4 springs on my B5 audi a4 if it would lower it?
Are the springs in the S4 the same height as A4?

thanks

i dont know the spec's but i imagine they are the same. your stock a4 suspention is ride height adjustable. you just need to buy the wrench from koni.

be warned you lower it you are forever doomed to negitive honda looking camber. unless you got big bucks.

The S4 springs are the same as the A4 sport suspension, with higher spring rates because the motor is heavier.

When I installed S4 springs on my non-sport A4 struts, I went down about a finger-width. Basically no drop at all. The upside is that the handling and ride quality are excellent. I am nowhere near as low as an A4 with a sport suspension. The struts apparently have a lot to do with it.
