Hi guys,

Having looked through over 40 pages of posts in the suspension thread, I need a definite answer on what shocks fit the rear of a 1999 RS4-s Stagea.

I've learned that they are the same as in an 260RS, so they have the forked bottom (not the bushed bottom like the auto C34 stageas).

Does anyone know who can supply direct-fit aftermarket shocks (locally?) that would fit? I would like the part number for the Bilstein ones from SK's old group buy if possible.

Cheers,

Rhett

Being RS4 it SHOULD be eye mount. Either way, you need:

If bottom is EYE mount, ECR33 rear shocks with an R32 TOP HAT ie R33 25t shocks with R32 / A31 / C33 top hats

If bottom is FORK mount, BCNR33 rear shocks with an R32 TOP HAT ie R33 GTR shocks with R32 / A31 / C33 top hats

product and workshop seconded. they also can valve it easily and cheaply to suit your application unlike bilsteins.

Thanks guys. I've got onto Gary and have ordered new Bilsteins for the rear.

The car has Koni adjustables at the moment. Seems the rear ones worn out and aren't providing anywhere near enough dampening. Once I get the new ones installed I'll try to have a look and see exactly what went wrong with them. (although I think they are over 40,000km old now, I've only had the car for the last 3,000kms).
