    H&R coilovers: is 25.75" fender height possible front and rear?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I used to have a set of H&R coils on my old B6 A4 3.0 many years ago, and I seem to remember having an issue with the rear perch being maxed out at the top and still being pretty low. Now I'm looking for a set of coilovers for my S4 cab, and it appears that only H&R have a specific part # for cabs (but it's for *all* cabs a4 4cyl,6cyl,8cyl so I'm guessing the springs are pretty soft). I just don't want to go too low, 25.75-25.5" would be ideal for me on stock avus.

    Anybody running these know if they'll go that high in the front (pretty sure they would front) and rear (probably the bigger question). Or anybody with a cab have a recommendation for coilovers? My first choice would be KW V1, since I've had H&R before and would like to try something new, just not sure how the spring rates would hold up under the additional cab weight.

    Have you considered just getting a set of springs?

    Yeah, but then the drop is way too low. And I like to corner balance my cars.

    I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would be a problem. I'm pretty confident 25.5 is attainable without much effort. I've got the H&R and like them but am around 25".

    My vogt GT's must be some of the lowest judging by how high my threads are yet how i'm still at 24.75, but when I cranked them all the way they got up to 25.5 or so. H&R's and most other coils should be able to get you at least to there.
