[V8] Springs

Sun Jul 23 14:08:23 EDT 2006

 Rite here Bryan,
http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?searchstring=spring+spacers&searchqt=byvehicle&make=Audi&model=C4+S6&submodel=Quattro&engine=20v+T

 says they have them in 13mm & 20mm. I suppose it
depends on how high up you want the rear as opposed to
the rear. & as I'm apposed to the Bilstiens..looks
like the spacers are specific to the Bilstiens so your
bound to that shock. But back to the spacer..I suppose
that them being only like $25 for each pair it maybe
wise to get both & test out which ones you like best.
Sell the others to someone on the //scar list & wash
your hands so to speak. Allso
with me not haveing the best of memories for
somethings but a better recolection for others...I may
have heard that Konie has the same spacer??? Again as
my mind lives in the fog I'm not sure.

 OH..got any recient pics you can send me & I can post
a link to them for your fellow listers??? Or Jeramey
Ward has a web site maybe he's host some pics???
Jeremey...
Thanx
Ron
