Default S4 Sedan Suspension on S4 Avant?
Can anyone tell me the difference in the suspensions of these two cars? Wondering if a stock S4 sedan suspension (shocks, struts, etc.) can be put on an S4 Avant or if this is a no no.

Thanks!

Default Rear spring rate is slightly higher with the avant coilovers
but you could absolutely use sedan ones on an avant. There were some people doing that before the avant specific ones were available.

Default probably OK, but it won't feel as good...
from my impressions, the Avant suspension is a bit stiffer.

Default Probably identical from the factory....I had both...sedan and Avant
And I put H&R coilovers on both.
