Fronts are ok...standard Audi set-up...rears? I am speechless...back is sore...neck is sore..fingers cut and bruised..in general I am really banged up...

This was the first of these for me...maybe the last. BTW, I have installed probably 60 suspensions in B5/B5 A4/S4s, and TTs.

It helps if you loosen (not remove) all the suspension bolts (non eccentric), that buys you another foot of droop, then you wedge a pry bar in the top part, and pull baby pull.

That rear setup SUCKS.

Not installing the bump stop and having to disassemble and reassemble is what knocked all the wind out me...one of the A6 guys mentioned that removing the brake caliper would have helped. The fronts were done in less than two hours..the rears?...sheesh.
