Sorry if this has been posted before, but I've been searching all morning and haven't been able to find an answer or solution.. I am looking for a set of fully assembled struts and springs, I know I could buy coilovers, but I have no need for them, as I only want a stock ride. If I absolutely have to I will buy/rent a spring compressor, or have a shop put the new struts and the springs together, but I would like to not even have to deal with the springs. In other words, I would like to just unbolt my old assembly and bolt in the new ones. Thanks

Take the spring and the shock to the shop, ask them to assemble them. Install yourself.

You mean coil-overs, not struts. Maybe you are searching for the wrong thing?

I do not mean the racing/lowering coilovers. I would like an OE replacement strut/shock assembly with a new spring. I guess when i think of coilovers, I think of the adjustable racing spings/shock. Are the stock shocks and springs called coilovers too?

Yes. The stock suspension *is* a coilover design. It is not a MacPherson strut suspension. There are no struts in a B5.

Oh I see. When I was looking on the KYB website, they call them struts. Thank you for clarifying.

Is the existing suspension red or black?

Red is Audi sports package and 20mm lower than stock.

The only way you are going to get all that is off a scrap donor vehicle because you have to reuse the mounts if you replace suspension.

The only reason why I shied away from messing with the springs is because I've never done them before, but after watching a few videos of compressing springs, it doesn't seem so bad. I've decided I will just go ahead and replace the shocks myself. Thanks for your help guys
