B7 suspension on a B6? Possible?

**mister_tu** · 06-23-2008 11:10 AM

I tried to search, but have come up empty handed.

Does the stock b7 S-Line/sport suspension fit on a b6?

yes, just make sure to get an a4 set and not an s4 set

They didn't change the suspension for the B7, it will bolt right up.

How come? Will B7S4 shocks & springs not swap into a B6 A4, or just ride height issues?

why?

worst case scenario the front of an a4 would sit a LITTLE bit higher on S4 springs because it lacks 4 cylinders worth of weight up front...

what will probably happen is the s4 springs may be a little stiffer, and you'll never notice the difference in height

That was my impression, but I'm pretty new to Audis so I had to ask. I'm more after the ride/handling improvement. I had a 2008 A4 3.2 S-Line as a loaner last week, and I was impressed with the highway manners, & how there was little if any compromise in ride comfort. I'm hoping the B7 S4 shocks/springs will firm up my Cab's boatish tendencies on the highway, & I think curb weights of a B6 3.0Q Cab are close to a B7 S4 (hopefully F/R distribution is similar too). I'm also fine with a stock-ish ride height for now.
