Replying to: augustom (Aug 12, 2009 3:25 am) The residual value on allroads is horrible regardless, you have to love the car. Well, now I know that I will NEVER come out to see my left front slumping, right front slumping, rear left slumping, rear right slumping or burn out my air compressor or fry my computer because they are all GONE. If you switch cars you will pay a lot and not have the power or cool wheel flares or tough rubber bumpers. the allroad is awesome, but it has flaws and these springs fix that flaw quickly and easily. ($1050 for the springs, $400 to install at Tango in San Mateo, $85 to realign my wheels). Now if I can get that damn check engine light to go off! peace, duck |

Replying to: duckrock (Aug 14, 2009 8:07 am) How does your allroad ride and handle now with the conversion kit? I'm considering the same thing. Have had problems with my susp. light coming one. Usually is off when I start the car but turns on and locks the suspension shortly after it makes any adjustments. I also need new rear shocks as it really bounces in the back. So I'm thinking I can switch to the spring conversion for cheaer then fixing the problem with the air suspension and then never have another air spring problem. Just wondering how your allroad handles now? thanks |

Replying to: duckrock (Aug 14, 2009 8:07 am) I guess its a matter of point of view, there are no rights or wrongs, just what one values more on this car, the looks, flares etc, or the adjustable ride height. I value the ride height adjustment because I use dirt roads to go to a weekend ranch. Best of luck with the coil springs. Augusto |

Replying to: shebe (Aug 24, 2009 7:49 am) Where abouts in canada do you live? Have you gone to the coil over springs? I'm on the fence with what I will do. I bought my allraod and it was working fine for about 3 months. I thought I was in the clear as the guy I bought the car off of had almost $4000.00 in repairs to his air suspension so I figured it would last a while for me but I was incorrect. I'm going to get a quote to see how much my repair will cost with keeping the stock aor suspension. |

Replying to: gerry24 (Aug 26, 2009 5:25 pm) http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Pictures-c13785-2002-A6-Avant.html http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/wagons/112_0109_2002_audi_s6_avant/index.htm- l I had a S4 Avant with the 2.7l V6, great car, but it could not drive on any dirt road, we are not talking offroad use, just dirt roads, one could feel that it was damaging the car. The allroad has the advantage of higher ground clearance when needed, and when loaded it keeps the same ride height not true with springs. |

I had the Arnott $1,000 conversion kit installed and the only suspension problem appears to be the thud it makes when going over significant bumps or pot holes. Any solutions? Thanks Art65
