Does anyone know if 2001 S4 Avant springs will fit on my 98'Avant?

The car will sit higher than the A4 Sport pkg. I measured mine before I had the MTM/Eibachs installed (ground to fender): front = 27.25"; rear = 26.5". The spring rate will be different too, since the S4 is heavier.

So this is not an acceptable way to lower my car?
I dont know if i have the sport package. Would you recomend the eibachs then?

Each company has a couple of kits that will mildly or seriously lower your car. I had H&R Sports w/Bilstein shocks on my former A4 and it was a very nice setup. If you currently have the sport pkg, your car will have dark red shocks; non-sport has black shocks.

I would not use S4 springs to lower your car, since (by my measurements) it won't lower it at all.

Get some springs and shocks made for your car. If you've got some money to spend, get coilovers. (H&R or Koni) Otherwise, there are many spring and shock combos you can go for. I've heard some say that the Koni shocks with Intrax springs are great. You can't really go wrong with Bilstein or Koni shocks. For springs, Intrax, Eibach, or H&R are probably the most popular.
