[s-cars] RE: HR Springs on 1995 S6

[Cody Payne]

Same here..I also get a sort of creaking noise w/ my H&R/Bilstein set-up.  But I really do like how the suspension feels.  Not harsh and nicely responsive on the curves and high speed straights.  Makes the stock suspension feel like a Cadi ;-)

I'm using the Bilstein and H&R combo and really like it.  The one and only complaint I have is that when it's cold, my Bilsteins seem to make some squising sounds.  Other than that, GO FOR IT!  I got mine from Mike Potter at www.parts4vws.com.  He is a friend and can order anything.  Beat Blaus price pretty handily.  I used the V8 springs and the sport struts.  A pretty fun weekend project.  If I had to do it over, I'd have done the back myself and let the shop do the front.  I almost killed myself twice trying to get the spring compressors on with the springs in the car.  You will also want to have a set of the dust boots for the front on hand too (Mike got me these pretty cheap from his dealer source).  And also don't forget to cut the bottom inch or so off the bump stops on the back. I did. Great for track, but almost no suspension travel on the road....  The UrS4 web site has a great writeup and part numbers for you.

Elvis today:  I am getting tired of my rancho suspension look on my bone
stock
1995 s6. What does everyone say about the HR/Bilstein combination?

Fast forward about 18 months...

Elvis:  So Hap, which do you prefer, unobtanium or illudium to impregnate
the ceramic fetzer valve of your hybrid turbo?

Be careful my friend, it's a very slippery slope.
