Finally some linear springs!

Do you have the measurements for the stock spring rates?

**jl87** · 06-01-2017 10:06 AM

In for reviews from testers!

**yjypm** · 06-01-2017 10:19 AM

Can't really tell how much they lower the car because the car is black. But linear springs sound nice!
The spring rates are pretty low so I guess this is mostly for daily driving?

**VisidianRyder** · 06-01-2017 10:36 AM

Please elaborate more on how these would work with Audi Adaptive Suspension? Would this throw any codes or are they 100 percent compatible? Would one notice the difference between comfort and dynamic still on these springs?

**jak77** · 06-01-2017 10:48 AM

Yea really hard to tell exactly how much drop there is due to the car color. 034 or any testers, can we get some pics of an S4 in a different color?

I tried messing with the exposure and contrast with my phone for this...

**JD S4** · 06-01-2017 11:32 AM

Looks awesome. Is the recommendation to run these with OEM shocks?

Nice drop, and thanks for spending your time.

Swapping just the springs won't throw you any code.

**vvenom800tt** · 06-01-2017 11:38 AM

Even if they are linear, those rates are super low. Im on ST coilovers on my B7 and the rates are 690 pounds front and 750 pounds rear. They are both linear. And id still like a stiffer spring up front

Im sure the stock B8 S4 springs under compression are stiffer than those 034 have here.

Sounds like this isn't the spring for you then? Why is this hard?

**jak77** · 06-01-2017 12:20 PM

I like how these come out right when my B12 kit shows up. I like the drop on these. Any testers out there what to comment on ride quality/performance?

No problem. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed with the B12 kit. Half or more of the performance will come from the dampers.

**VeNoMS4** · 06-01-2017 01:31 PM

This is awesome! Can't wait for tester reviews. I've been mulling over what to buy to lower my ride and this seems like a perfect solution. If any of the testers with a white car can post pics, try would be sweet!

Very interested in these, may have to get a set after seeing how others like it

That's what I'm doing waiting to see some reviews. Might be a better option than the b12 kit well see

**onlyaudis** · 06-05-2017 05:55 PM

this is another offering I can't quite make sense of from a physics standpoint . I believe those springs rates are softer than stock, plus you are lowering the car using stock height strut assemblies. . seems like a recipe for bump stop city.

I was not able to find a very reliable source for what the stock spring rates are. Were you?

Like you said, not sure it's reliable.

That was according to Stasis, which seems entirely too stiff. Here's the post from dreamingin302ci:

"B8 Spring Rate Chart:
Stock S5: 480f/440r* Rear rates are incorrect. These are obtained from Stasis literature. No way it's 440 on a 0.95 rear axle motion ratio. Rear rates from factory are closer to 200.
PSS10: 540f/298r
RSS: 686f/343r
Prokit: 336f/171r
Solowerks Sedan: 690f/250-275r
Solowerks Avant: 690f/320-350r
KW HAS: 542f/286r
H&R Street: 450f/450r
ST Coilovers: 690f/286r
Stasis post motion ratio: 296f/400r
Stasis pre motion ratio: 750f/1100r
H&R OE Sport: 480f/200r *According to tech I spoke with. He stressed that OE sport = factory spring rate. But this may only be the rate at static compression. It may ramp up due to it being progressive (vs factory springs are linear)"

If these are correct, the 034 springs are stiffer than the eibach prokit all around -- Then vs H&R OE sport, they're softer in the front and stiffer in the rear.

these are just springs, hard to compare to the bilstein kit.

Agreed. If I had more miles on my car, I'd definitely get the b12s as they can be had for cheaper than a set of b8s or other dampers.

Can vouch that the b12 kit is a price friendly upgrade and better than stock in every way:)

anyone install these yet? Pics? Impressions?

**shifu22** · 06-15-2017 04:38 PM

How many hours should this take for install? I feel like my mechanic is quoting way too much!

I believe book time (without alignment) is about 6.5 hours total front and rear, but the rear springs are kind of a pain to get at. I wouldn't be surprised if some places were booking out for a full day including alignment. Hope that helps!

Wow. That's a long time! I was figuring maybe 1-2hrs like most other cars. Hence my thoughts about being over priced. But if that's the case, pricing is fair.

A tip to get the rear springs out very easy is to compress the rear springs using the jack under each rear control arm
Then use mechanic wire and loop around 3 of the coils (i wrap the wire in 3 or 4 layers so it doesnt brk) when there compressed..
Then lower the jack and pull the springs out..
I have the rear springs out and lowering ones done in 30min max..
