Anyways greetings from Malmö + PM mig om vad du fick ge för arbetet med fjärdrarna och känner du någon märkbar skillnad???
Best regards

The stickers are there because I run the site "www.garaget.org" :)
I did not change the springs myself but a friend of mine did (an Audi/VW/Skoda mechanic). I would not recommend doing this yourself. Retail price for a change should be about 3000-4000 SEK. Quattro is a bit harder to change in the rear than FWD from what I understand, could make some minor difference in price I guess.
After mounting H&R I also monted 19" so I have not tried the car with the 17" wheels (winter tires) and H&R springs yet. That means I can't tell if there is any difference between the original springs and these. TS-version have a lowered suspension from factory already (22m lower), and H&R lowers an additional 20-25mm. From what I've heard it should barely make any difference in comfort.
With 19" and 35 profile I can't say its very comfortable, you can certainly feel all the bumbs in the road, but I like it... On a highway it's fine, not uncomfortable at all. The bumpiness is felt mostly in the city, otherwise it's just firm and nice :)
