Ok, this is the deal. I am selling my matched suspension kit for a 1993-1=
995 Audi S4/S6.
I bought the below suspension for my 1994 Audi S4 Quattro, however, I ended=
up selling the car before installing the suspension. I was going to put t=
his on my wagon, but have decided to leave it stock ride height and therefo=
re I am selling the below kit.
H&R V8 Springs
Bilstien Sport Shocks
So, what is special about this kit you ask? Well, I had my shocks sent bac=
k to Bilstien and gave them the specs on my car. Weight (F & R), other spe=
cs, spring rates, height, and what I was looking to get out of them... I h=
ave driven many S4's with the Bilstien/H&R setup and it is my opinion that =
while I like the ride of the springs, the shocks were not aggressive enough=
for such a spring. And, since there are no "matched" sets available for t=
his car, I decided to make one myself.
So, I talked at length with an engineer at Bilstien directly, who re-valved=
all four shocks. I had him increase the compression side just slightly as=
I thought that part was fine, however we did increase the rebound quite a =
bit as that is where I thought improvement was most needed.
Unfortunately, I have never had this suspension on the car to feel what it =
is like, but I imagine it would be exilarating! I'd love to feel it, so ho=
ping someone locally will buy it, but it is going to whoever coughs up the =
cash.
The kit is being sold for $850 obo.
That's Springs for $350 and Shocks for $500.
This well over $100 less than what I purchased this equipment for, and I se=
arched to get the best prices I could find, and I did all the research and =
had all the custom work done for you. If you are considering this Bilstien=
/H&R combo, you should seriously look at this suspension kit as I think you=
will be much happier with this setup and cost outlay is about the same as =
getting standard shocks/springs from your usual sources.
Call or email if you have any questions (206) 661-1976.
