I've got H&R Springs/Koni Shocks on the back of my 2001 A4 1.8t. The back end has a squeaky rattle now. . . any ideas? A friend said it could be the springs themselves. . . any ideas?

of different springs with koni shocks. The
only thing we all have in common are the koni
shocks. My setup is Intrax Springs with Koni
shocks, and the springs don't sit in the bottom
spring perch of the koni's as well as they
did with the OEM shocks and springs. The pics
is meant to illustrate my point.

Look at the bottom spring perch, the spring
should be seated in that little indentation
in the perch better, but the perch seems to
be curved more than the OEM shock perch.

Here's what I'm going to try 1st:
silicone hoses from Intrax for the springs
and a rubber bushing from Koni for the bottom
spring perch.
If that doesn't work, I will be demanding
new springs from intrax, or my money back.

understeer. The ride itself is more comfortable
than it would be with the OEM sport suspension,
yet pitch and roll are pretty much non existant.
I was thinking of getting a 19mm sway bar for the
rear, Eric from Spp told me to wait and see how
I like it w/o the sway bar, cause he said it's
not necessary, and he was right.
