As title states. This will be my thread to document the install. I have the KW v3 early design on my other car so this will be a good test for the H&R setup.
Anyone that has the H&R coilovers....can you post your spring settings front and rear? Maybe measure the threaded shock body to lowest lock ring. Nothing in the box or website as to initial preload.
Bye bye wheel gap 4x4

The H&R's that I have installed were purchased from Achtuning, part #: 29482-2 . installed by an indy - I'll see what I can dig up for you, but I recall him saying that they were on the last thread of the struts

Yep, same number and same vendor. Great service from them btw.
Can you snap a pic of your ride height to go along with the spring setting?
I have 225-45-18 snows mounted at present, but you can get an idea of the ride height .. it's pretty low .. same in rear ..

Blah, blah blah
I used MopnGlow on my side....Pat used Wizard sealant.
^^ That is not repainted. That is a 11yr old control arm taken off my #3. ;-)
I didnt have time to check yet but notice the large alloy collar in the suspension bushings. Are the RS6 control arm busings different from A6?
I also have all the install settings for the H&R sport coilover install. Waiting to see where things settle out.
Oh yeah, no more wheel gap.
We dont need no stinkin alignments here.
I didnt show the quicktrick alignment kit but we checked before and after. Needed to toe in after the drop.
365mm bolt to perch on the front.
340mm bolt to perch on the rear.
Ride is excellent. Good job of matching damping to spring rate. Car drives just fine.
Me veddy happy.
Why did you remove the upper control arms as part of the strut swap?Originally Posted by DHall1
'02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
Well
Clearly we had to wax the control arms before assembly
Not necessary... I left him alone for one minute...
