Can the springs be cut down on the a4 b5 tdi avant.
I've not had them off to see if there pig tailed so was just wondering if anyone has done them before.
Thanks

My advice is DON'T CUT SPRINGS.
Buy a set of either OEM sport springs or S4 springs. Eibach do some very good pro-kit springs. I have them on my B6 and can't fault them at all. They are about ~£150 for a 1.9 tdi..... E1539-14 is for Quattro models. or E1537-140 for FWD models.
 
Found some on Amazon -40mm for £90

Just money is tight ATM n it's stupidly high

With cheap(er) springs, just make sure they are correctly weighted for the car. Some may be too stiff and your ride will be horrendous, on the flip side they could be far too soft and make the handling dangerous.

Try and source a good set of used oem SPORT or S4 springs......
I was lucky when I got my Eibach springs. Got them at a very good price.
 
There them dan

-30mm not much though, has anyone got photoshop to show what a 30mm drop would look like?
 
don't cut the springs.. this will void your insurance and make your car dangerous. and will fail an MOT with them fitted.
if you want it lower than 30mm buy a set of cheap coilovers

heres my old avant on the coilovers with the 16" wheels

here it is with a set of Eibach's and the 17" wheels. the ride was so much better

these were new at the time. the car did drop some more once the springs settled

I got a set of the cheapest springs off ebay for my parents old 1.8T. They were about 70quid, and did the job, ride was improved no end, height was "tidy" without being too low. Was pretty impressed tbh.

Think I'm gunna save up to get some springs but still cut mine down. If all fails I can buy some :)
 
I can't understand why anybody would want to cut their springs. You can make your car look lower by letting out the air from your tyres for even less effort.
