I have been looking at the FA parts fiche and noticed several different
front and rear springs for our ANN engine cars with air conditioning. My '93
S4 has 1-yellow, 2-silver paint dots on the front springs indicating that it
is not a sport suspension. 1-yellow and 2-violet paint marks are the correct
front springs for the sport suspension for the AAN w/air con indicated by
FA. I don't know what the correct shocks would be for the "sport suspension"
springs, or any other part needed to switch our US spec //S cars over, but
would like to investigate this in depth as OE sport springs could be a good
option - only if available - hopefully not gone NLA. Has anybody done this
leg work?

My reason is that, believe it or not, I tow a Coleman Taos popup camper with
our '93 S4 and need better rear springs to handle the extra tongue weight
load. This would only be to level the rear out more. I did notice in FA
parts fiche that there is a self leveling rear air suspension too. Hmmmmm.

There are some dealers that will order from Germany. The Porsche dealer in
Bend, OR is one that I know of. I might get started there.
