Default RS4 H&R springs...are they worth it?
hey guys...

just wanted to know if these springs are good for the RS4 or is there another set of springs out there that I should look at?

many thanks!

Default Yes they're very good but IMO not worth the installation costs and grief
The DRC fluid needs to be drained, etc. Several bad reports of dealers not knowing how to do it correctly and your car could be in/out of the shop several times.

I love H&amp;R springs, they're well engineered and high quality, but skip on the RS4 IMO.

Default Agree...
not a suspension you want to mess with unless you replace it altogether.

Default I'm just going for it..... I think my DRC is stiill good, I'm just tired of the floaty feel.

It's bad when I like driving my 20yo scirocco more then the RS4 just because of the suspension.

Default My car was one of the 1st 08's, its just over 1yr old with 16K miles, I was happy enough with the
ride when the DRC was working but now its getting increasingly soft and floaty so I'm looking forward to the SL's.
