Tip on choosing coilover (b6 a4)
Hi y'all
I have 2004 a4 qtro 6psd and I currently on a tein springs.
I bought this car like few weeks ago and I would like to get a coilover suspension
either tein, h&r, d2 ... etc
I could only find info about kw and stasis in this forum, and I need your opinion
I basically drive this car as a daily driving car, not gonna be on the track, or anything.
So what kinda coilovers are good for the 2004 audi a4?
Thanks

Re: Tip on choosing coilover (b6 a4)
depends what you want from your car, do you take it to the track once in a while or are you just looking to lower the car?
the most popular coilovers for our b6 a4's are probably the entry level stasis streetsports which are basically koni's pre-tuned by stasis. i have vogtland GT's from startup racing which are a bit stiffer than the streetsports. bilsteins pss9 or pss10's are very good and are a step up from the former two i mentioned. and if you want the ultimate in adjustability and performance you can go with stasis motorsports.
i'm not familiar with the tein's and h&r since they were never on my list when i was researching coilovers for my b6.

Well, it may sound rice, but I want to lower the car in summer and lift the car in the winter sort of care about looking i guess
I wouldn't take this car to the track, cuz i have another car for it (not audi, but honda)
I just want some not cheap, but pretty much basic coilovers to adjust the height of the car. I guess any brand would be fine? I am also considering buying a used one.
How about eibach coilovers? do you know whether they are okay for my purpose?
Thank you for the reply

This is just for looks??? I would say spend your money on something effective not something redundent and useless as looks. Audi is a timeless car, in my opinon and does not age very quickly as far as looks go, as far as honda goes...well your first problem was buying it, i would say(I currently own a honda as well). First thing I would do is change the sway bars performance/handling wise. You should never do a mod just because of looks IMHO!!!

Thanks for the reply 1move.
The reason why I am doing this is because the previous owner put spring (Tein) and it is pretty low and I already lost my under belly sheilds.
So i was thinking, may be buying coilovers to change height
Anyway Thanks for the real gentle reply
and what should I look for the sway bar? heard that rs4's are really good

I would go with the RS4 Sway bar, H&R makes some stiffer ones @30mm vs RS4's at 24mm. but with the H&R you get a lot more understeer I personally think the rs4 one is perfect for the A4

Re: Tip on choosing coilover (b6 a4)
so Do you think I can get the stock rs4 sway bar from the dealer?
or where should I look into? and how much cost I would be looking at?
Like you mentioned, i would rather spend money on something else rather than spending on coilover just for the looks.
Thanks again 1move
where you living though?
