    S4 suspension on A4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i have search but got nothing good.


    i know a S4 suspension will bolt to my A4 but will it be jack high or lower like a sport suspension ??? im sure someone will say because of the weight of the motor it will be higher...but i would like to see if someone did it and how it looked.

    thanks

    wow you didn't search well then. It will make a 1.8T look like a 4x4 if you have a 2.8L it should work ok.

    you can run the s4 shocks.. Dont put s4 springs on an a4, it will just lift your car. This has been talked about A LOT on like 30 threads

    It'll be higher.

    Unless the springs off the donor S4 had been replaced with lower than OEM items.

    A stock S4 is actually HIGHER than a stock 1.8TQM.

    Just buy the correct springs for an A4, the only S4 bits you could run would be the dampers.

    No. According to Jason at Stasis, the S4 shocks are better. Not much, but still better.

    Correct and with say a set of H&R race spring it's a cheap upgrade and sits nice.
