[s-cars] Suspension questions

[Matthew Pelkey]

Hi Guys,

Background: I have a 95.5 Avant with 123k miles and live in Madison,
WI. The suspension on the car is the original setup from the factory
with the stock 16s for wheels. I don't track the car and the roads
around here aren't in the greatest shape. I am thinking of
refreshing/upgrading the suspension but not sure what to do based on
the myriad of combinations out there.  My previous experience with
suspension upgrades was with an '88 325iS. On that car I had Bilstein
Sports and Eibachs installed along with new shock mounts and strut
bearings. I liked that setup except when the road surface was really
bad. The other concern was excessive tire wear due to the camber being
off a little.

>From reading a lot of past posts on this list and the Audiworld forums
I am confused over what I need. Some questions I have are:

Do I need special springs for the Avant?

Are Eibachs even available for the Avant?

Is there anything else that I need to do or makes sense to do at this
time? Like camber paltes, control arms, bushings, tierods, etc?

Thanks!
