    Question Observation in coilovers and suspension before i buy

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    hey guys, ok so im having a freaking hard time reading and deciding, casue is a $hit load of money and ill be super piest if i made a mistake.

    I found this write up and its awesome but i cant find the answer http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ipload-of-Pics

    So i have this Audi a4 B7 3.0 TDI quattro and i want to upgrade the suspension, im the third owner and as i was inspecting the car, the control arms are wasted, plus the struts are leaking, so i decided to upgrade the suspension, one dude here on the forum gave me a good tip in a control arm discount on FCP, i got that done, but now i wanna change the coil overs, i found that KW is a good choice, expensive, but good, but here is the question, after i spoke to the provider he told me this model will fit
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/KW-Variant-2...item2305a404e6



    but as you already know, the B7 suspension on the rear has is separated, springs on the inner and struts closer to the wheel.

    Like this





    so i thought you actually need this model

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/391380121216...8501725a8&cp=1


    "as you can see the coils are separated"

    So whats the deal, if i use the first option, i have to remove the stock springs on the rear?.


    Im sorry if i sound like a retarded, but, i need help to fight this retardation :P.

    PS: should i get adjustable upper arms to correct the camber due to new coilovers?
    Im not really a big fan on lowering the car a lot, i love the clearance that this machine has.



    Kind Regards

    To be on the real with you. If your spending that type of $$$$$ on coil overs I really suggest you at some http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/p...b16-pss9pss10/ not that KW that you listed aint good. I just wanted you to another option

    Since you already have the control arms done, I don't think you have to do all that work on that write up. I find this video super helpful, it looks pretty easy from what the video shows. I plan on installing coils in the spring http://youtu.be/bXC79Io4UCk

    Everywhere

    Both of the KW V2 kits you listed are the same, same part number. Don't go by the pics always.

    yes , that's why i'm confuse, even tho in this case picture are no the same, my question remains the same, can/should you replace the rear shocks with coil overs?
