What are the firmest euro springs that I can source from Audi of Germany?

Cybertron · 06-09-2005, 01:55 PM

I have a friend in Bonn, Germany who is willing to buy me a set of springs from Audi in Germany. What are the firmest springs available from Audi? Are the S6 euro springs (the stock set for europe only) firmer than the S6 plus springs? I noticed on ETKA that there are several different color codes and part numbers for both models. Does anyone have the spring rate break down for the various color codes? I am tired of my H&Rs and what to go for the firmest Audi supplied ride I can get.

I know that the euro sport springs are not as stiff as the H&Rs, so you probably don't want those.

The euro-spec springs are softer than the H&Rs, but stiffer than US-spec.

According to ETKA;

4A0 411 105 R - front coil spring for vehicles with sport-type running gear, 1 silver 2 violet euro-spec A/C manual gearbox AAN, S6 Plus

4A5 511 115 AG - rear coil spring for vehicles with sport-type running gear, 1 yellow, 3 blue euro-spec AAN and USA 1992, S6 Plus

What's interesting is the rear spring was common to the US-spec 1992, while the front was shared by the S6 plus and the euro-spec S6.

The above combo is available stateside from Europrice for $600
