best CQ junkyard steal ever!
Went to this junkyard this weekend and noticed a white CQ on my way out. Came back today(25% off on Wednesday) and grabbed the following all for the low price of 2 Benjamins. 
4 Newer strut assemblies w/ swaybar tabs @ 20$ a piece!!! Included in them are H&R springs and bilstein HD or Sports(need to identify this).

Also grabbed the cast iron control arms(don't think I'll need em but got them anyways), both sway bars, and the rear subframe(didn't feel like fabbing up bar mounts on my old one).

Not pictured is the locking mechanism for the gas door and the door itself. Hopefully I can retrofit it to my Coupe.
For those wondering there is a nice late 90 build Pearl White CQ at the Pick N Pull in South San Jose, CA. No front clip, but good body pannels and rear bumper assembly. Block spit out cyl 1 rod through the oil pan. Head is damaged and cams are gone. Interior is pretty trashed and no front seats, but it is grey for those that need anything. Car had 180k on it I believe. Looks like it was owned by someone who cared for it. Had signs of good maintenance(fresh gaskets, plug wires, spare parts in trunk, and new CV boots) and even had a bronze gear in the distributor(looked self installed unless the rebuilt from Audi came with a roll pin).

yup, got the dist
Yeah, I'm going to try it and see if it rattles/buzzes less than my current one with retrofitted bronze gear. Might also use the shims from it.

H&R part number question
Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the H&R springs for CQs? The one's on these say 810 22 100VA and all 4 springs are the same. Thought that the front and rear would have different rates/part numbers.

sorry doubt I am selling them soon
I am keeping the shocks for sure since my car was falsely advertised as having Bilstein sports and I want to try the H&Rs compared to my Weitecs. If I don't like them for some reason though I'll let you know.
