I have been SingTFA. What is the current thinking on best sport suspension for a C5 Avant?
I'm getting very serious about converting my allroad to a coilover suspension. The problem is that there is no such thing as a 2.7T Avant so no suspension application for it. I am stuck with a sedan suspension or one for the 2.8 or the S6. What choice might be best?
The H&Rs look nice as hell and I like to patronize AWE, but I don't think they have an Avant specific application. For those here with avants - have you tried a sedan suspension? It seems that with the adjustability of coilovers that you could tune it someone to compensate for the Avant body but I am just guessing.

Schwank did coilovers for his Avant...
I think they were H&R. Not sure what is involved in taking out the air suspension in the allroad and replacing it with coilovers...has anyone done that on the allroad forum?

I am the guinea pig (as usual being on of the earliest owners). I'll figure out the conversion...
issues first with a 'test suspension' I am borrowing locally. I'm borrowing a take-off OEM suspension from an A6 sedan for test fitting. If that works out I will buy a coil-over setup but wasn't sure what would be the best option giving there is no fitment for 2.7T Avant.

Good idea, but I live the option of cranking the suspension up a little for winter if necessary.
This is not a deal breaker so I will consider a custom spring setup if necessary. Thanks for the info.

The S4 guys who have switched to it say that it's worth every penny...
If money is no object, I don't think it has any competition. It's supposedly very supple on the street as well (when adjusted accordingly).

Yeah. I think that might be over the top for me.
that must be the "motorsport" option. I believe they have a lower range "enthusiast" version with standard Koni dampers and I presume choice of spring rates.

What are the chances that someone wants to swap their 02 avant suspension for my 03 avant suspension
