I'm wondering if you could use B5 S4 suspension on 00-01 A6 2.7t.
Found a set of used coil over, the guys says it should but not 100% sure.
Should it fit?

it should fit but the spring rate is different

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that its not a good idea......

Food for thought...Stock C5 suspension on a B5...

^^^ Made me giggle

so C5 basically sits higher?
if B4 goes on C5, it would be a little too low?

c5 is heavier....thats why b5 sits higher ...

It would ride like horrible shit.

No. The front suspension is the same, but the rear is completely different

2nd. Having owned a B5 S4 before my A6....exactly what he said.

However, I am selling a set of 2Bennett racing coilovers for the A6. I have pending sale, but the deal's not done yet. If he flakes, I can email ya. 2Bennett offers adjustable ride height AND dampening.
