Decision Time: Will parts from a B7 S4 work on a B8 A4 3.2?

**caraddict** · 11-15-2011 08:05 PM

I have a 2006 B7 S4 Avant that was crushed by a tree in the recent NJ storm, insurance is declaring it a total loss. Looking for a replacement vehicle that I can have a friend buy at auction, there are 2 2009 A4 3.2 premiums and 1 2009 A6 3.0(T?) available for the Thursday Adessa auction in NJ.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the aftermarket mods from my car will fit on either the newer gen A4 or A6? Mods considering to be transfered.:
1. Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
2. The ECS tuning big brake kit (Porsche Cayenne 6 piston calipers and oversize cross-drilled roters)
3. Miltek exhaust which could probably be custom-fitted as a catback to the stock system
4. I would probaly upgrade the antiroll bars to make it handle, any suggestions on sourc

I am keeping the ultraexpensive HRE wheels from my car as they will fit my wife's car, or whatever sher

Please provide your suggestions on equipment changover and overall thought on choosing betww an A4 3.2 vs A6 3.0T?
THANKS forum readers!

Definite no on the coilovers, exhaust wouldn't either without serious modification, I'd imagine the BBK could without too much trouble.

H&R and Hotchkis both have sway bars for the B8 I believe.

Saying all that though, I would absolutely shoot for the 3.0T A6 over the B8 3.2, it is hands down a better car.
