There are 15 different models for rear: Q5, SQ5- U.S., SQ5 rest of the world, and 8 models for front

Someone here from Central/South America (Costa Rica I believe?) has a SQ5-TFSI with the factory lowered suspension. I'm curious as to what springs were used for that vehicle.

I installed the SQ5-TDI setup in my SQ5-TFSI. It looks MUCH better than stock, but the front appears to be a few mm higher than the SQ5-TDIs I've seen on the web.
I chaulk up the difference in front heights to the weight differences between the heavier Twin-TDI and the slightly ligher TFSI motor.

You have your before/after mesurements?

JaXeN,
Would also be grateful if you remember the part number or number paint marks for the springs you used?

I think Yoshimura may have pulled the trigger already, but since I'm still sitting on the fence, would like to figure out which rear SQ5 springs to order for my Q5 3.0, glass roof, and supposed weight range 0YE.

Yoshimura,
Can you share which part numbers you ordered?

JaXeN

From 33.5" F/R to 32.5" F/R.

Here're the parts I ordered for MY15 SQ5 with glass roof.

8R0 411 105 DG - Front springs - 0JB
8R0 413 031 AP - Front shocks
8K0 412 131 E - Front bump stops
8R0 511 115 DC - Rear springs - 0YD
8R0 512 131 K - Rear bump stops

No rear shocks were needed since Euro and NA SQ5 use the same - 8R0 513 035 AE.

In the case of a Q5, you will have to make sure that not other parts are different/needed. If you're only doing the springs, consider also swapping the bump stops.

Part diagrams can be found online here. Click the CarProg2 link.

There seems to be no correspondence between Q5 and SQ5 weight classes so you should probably just ignore yours and check what is used on SQ5 models.

Thanks Yoshimura,
I think there are differences with the regular Q5 3.0t shocks as well. But looking at this as an alternative to H&R springs so may just try the springs first since the full suspension would drive cost up into the coilover range. May just keep my current bump stops for now too to prevent bottoming out on shock travel.
