    Loosing my mind over suspension :@

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    as a newbie i know someone may say "search" but ive tried but im just getting more and more confused as no one seems to have the same build spec as me .
    so if someone could shed some light on my problem it would be GREATLY appreciated,

    long story short: 2005 A4, 2.5 V6 S-line
    it has always sat low on the rear, as in very low, i read this was common so i just dealt with it for the past year but today i decided to have a closer look.
    i found the N/S/R spring snapped and the rubber donut bush thing just sitting in the spring (so my spring is rubbing on the chassis .
    any ways no big deal, get 2 new springs problem solved? kinda
    done a bit of research on standard/sport/s-line suspension etc and now im just lost.

    *on the log book my car is listed as "S-line", i have the badge on the front grill and door skirts...but thats it, none on the steering wheel/seats etc? weird/normal?
    *my car has the Red shock absorbers all around.
    *the "1BE" stamp in the spare wheel well
    *Front springs are "Green/Green/Green/Pink - not a problem
    *BUT the colour of the broken NSR one is "Blue/Pink/Pink" (not as bright pink as the fronts but definitely pink), i can't seem to find a colour stamp on the OSR one.

    SO MY PROBLEM IS: i cannot seem to find anyone anywhere that has the same rear springs as me :S and is my car even a real S-line lol? maybe someone bodged a spring in from a different A-series Audi.

    if anyone can help that would be great as festival season is approaching and the car is going to be doing alotttt of miles with alotttt of weight in, cheers

    You gotta host the pictures on another site (imgur, photobucket, flickr, etc), and then post the DIRECT links into the little image pop-up in the reply tools

    Are you UK based? If so, different packages are offered in US. It could mean that your car only has s-line exterior, not interior. 1BE means sport suspension (-20mm, s-line would be -30mm).

    Yeah im based in the uk, ive spent SEVERAL more hours searching and can only find hints of the blue/pink/pink on 1.8 A3's. And my car being obviously much heavier than one of those i know these can't be the right ones :(
    Does anyone have a B7 s-line that isn't an avant/estate to compare springs with.
    Appartently my rear springs should be "weight range 8" :s
