    B5 Avant - What lower springs brand that the back don't sit higher than front?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi all

    Looking for a set of lowering springs for my 2000 b5 avant quattro, car already comes with Red shock/springs standard. What spring's brand will allow the rear to sit at the same height as the front? From my research here and else where, a lot of the brands will actually make the Rear sits higher than the front.

    Thanks

    I have an H&R cup kit on my avant and the rear is tucking a little bit but the front still has a tiny space between the wheel and fender.

    Most cup kits will make the rear lower on Avants, not higher (as the Avant has more weight back there to weigh down the springs).

    I do too, I'm really disappointed that no spring companies have B5 Avant springs.
    Bilstein lists compatibility with their cup kit (which uses Eibach springs) but Eibach doesn't list their springs as compatible. Kit # is 46-183248

    I'd just do adjustable coilovers if I were doing it again. I wonder how much custom springs are....
