    Need help identifying what springs are on my b5 s4!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I recently bought a b5 s4 (monster of a car, btw ), and I am unsure what kind of lowering springs the PO installed.

    They are a dark blue colour, which led me to believe they were H&R's sports springs, but I couldn't find any H&R markings...

    So my question is.. are there any springs that were made for the b5 s4 that are dark blue besides H&R springs???

    here are some quick pics i just took showing the drop and the spring colour(i had to use flash, so the colour might be off).

    my new baby!

    rear (with about 100lbs of stuff in the trunk):


    colour of springs:


    Let me know what you guys think!

    it should say it on the spring. take off a wheel. what kind of shocks to do you have? it looks yellow. If it is then you prob have a bilstein/h&r setup. congrats on the new ride!

    Thanks man.

    I took off both front wheels, and there are no visible markings. There might be some on the far side?

    The shocks are blown Koni Yellows.

    Doing some research, it looks like H&R are red in colour...?

    But Neuspeed ones seem to be dark blue..

    Hmm can anyone confirm?

    Intrax and APR springs were blue. I think Vortrag sold them packaged with Koni yellows back in the day.
    "Obsessed" is a word that the lazy use to describe the committed.

    Got a picture of the rear springs? Could be Vogtland Club Specs. Some of their earlier springs came Blue in color.

    i would have taken better pics, but didn't want to start taking off wheels in the apt parking lot. haha.

    Thanks for the help guys, i'm just going to order a set of H&R sports to go with my new Bilstein sports.

    Cheers.
