[s-cars] Bilstein Sports - do I need bump stops?

Tue Sep 13 12:47:38 EDT 2005

Russell,

Go here http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=20v%20T&model=C4%20S6&submodel=Quattro&category=Suspension

To see ECS rear 13mm spacer. I used on my car and have an even drop in all four corners. Other listers have described rear ends looking as there is a dead body in the trunk because of lack of spacer rear end sag. This is for sedans only.

I will confirm part numbers tonight when I'm at home PC.
