[s-cars] Re: 1992 S4 lowering springs vs. 1993-1995

[Bogataboy1 at aol.com]

You need to have Bilstein Sports, or Koni Adjustables, to go with your
lowered springs. The shorter shaft is never out of range with the stock
springs, unlike what would happen if you use Bilstein HDs or stock
struts.  You must also figure out what you're going to do with your
eventual alignment/camber issue by either modifying the camber plates
yourself, or by purchasing them via Autosportwerks, 2bennett, or ECS.

What is a pop-off valve? I'm assuming you mean a bypass valve, aka
diverter valve. Also, if you have a 1992 S4, you do not have a biturbo.
Biturbo essentially means one turbo per bank of cylinders. You have a
straight five, thus one turbo and complimenting bypass valve.

The stock bypass valve, I believe, is the Bosch 710N. You can get this
at the dealership, or SJMautotechnik.

Hey Paul,

your gettin a little lippy there.

I sure as shit know how many turbo chargers I have.  C'mon
And I just told you I put a "pop-off valve in".

All I wanted was some usable advice.  I have never modified my Audi's.  Together between Me, my dad, my brother, and some friends....We have owned about 25 S4/S6's.

But I repeat, no mods except chips and wheels.  you know the no-brainer stuff.

So relax...

I am not an Audi rookie here.

Thanks anyway.

Aaron
