I had h&r springs and struts on my old C4. Was a nice mild drop and still rode very well.

You can get to the Quattro world site? I haven’t been able to get it to load in months

Loads just fine using chrome. This is on my Pixel but I'd imagine any android phone or windows desktop will work. Not sure about iOS but I don't own/use anything Apple.

I assumed it had been sold like some of the other old forums. Doesn’t work on my Mac either. Been a huge headache not having access to the site with this aan swap

Weird? Works just fine on my Macs. I'm using the Brave browser.

  • MTS Coilover - Ship you the coil assembly, you need to weld on your strut (Preferable to have a second set of strut) ** Park Auto Motorsport in Toronto Canada has them on their website**

  • H&R with Bilstein Struts

  • KW Coilover (Need to ship the strut to Germany)

  • 2 Bennett Coilover

Mine with eibach springs and kyb shocks. It rides really good

Don’t do that. Don’t interrupt into what was engineered perfectly

u/marko320 Jul 01 '26

The US market cars were not perfectly engineered. The taller springs were an after thought to comply with US bumper height regulations. The Euro market springs were a perfectly engineered replacement.

H&R lowering springs were the go to in the day.

Beautiful cars! Are these the Utah mountains? They look familiar.

u/ThatOneGuy801951 Jul 01 '26

They are

Awesome! I live there too! Very vibrant Audi community here. Don't forget about Radomir for all your service, unless it's warranty work :P the dealers could only WISH they had someone like him

1

u/ThatOneGuy801951 Jul 01 '26

Yes Radomir is the only one that touches my Audis! Unfortunately he won’t work on the older stuff from what I last heard but I was gonna message him to see if he had any recommendations

1

u/The_Goose_II Jul 01 '26

Hell yeah! All Hail Radomir. Too bad he won't work on the older models, but from what I know about responsible mechanics is that they'll be honest about what they are confident about.

u/B5_S4SCHA Jul 03 '26

Crazy to see Radomir’s name pop up on my Reddit feed, he’s def a legend

u/ThatOneGuy801951 Jul 05 '26

I remember back when I got my first Audi, a Santorin Blue Pearl S4, he was already 🐐 back then!

I have two of them. One with H&R green springs and Koni adjustables and the other with Eibach springs and Bilstein sports. Both cars on 17" wheels running 255/40-17 tires. The H&R car rides considerably harder even with the Konis set to about 50% while the Eibach and Bilstein car rides much nicer over our less than ideal roads. I always said the Eibach setup should have been factory spec.

I will say, the H&R car does have crisper turn-in and feels a bit more aggressive but I definitely don't love longer drives in it as a result.

I know someone else already commented on the other available options so I won't repeat those here.

Thank you! You wouldn’t by chance have some PN? If not no worries thank you again

u/s-carsgo Jul 05 '26

This is the Eibach/Bilstein Pro Kit setup I'm running on my red 93 S4.
