Many thanks Gareth, I will try to speak to Febi Technical as well. I have really appreciated all the advise from this forum. Simon.

Many thanks for this Cliff.

Many thanks Gareth, I called my local Audi Dealership, they informed they only offer 1 standard genuine Audi coil spring that will fit on my vehicle. Frightening cost and installation price to go with it! LLL inform part number 8W0511115EE/vw-audi-coil-spring-8w0511115ee is the correct one, there are others but they sadly they can’t identify which ones would be an upgrade in their system. I also spoke to Parts In Motion who emailed me the following link advising it mentioned heavy duty on their system but that did not necessarily mean an upgrade: Kilen Coil Spring Rear 50279 https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk//car-parts/steering-suspension/coil-springs/kilen-50279-coil-spring-50279-detail When I clicked on this link it I was informed:- ‘This part is not listed as a fit your vehicle click here to view Coil Springs that fit.’ I have already queried this and they informed they had to end up using the VIN and getting the OEM part number as when they searched using the reg, no springs came up, which is probably why this is not showing as a fit on the website as that goes off data from inputting the reg number only. It this point, I’m not really that much further forward on the upgrade side and I am starting to think there probably isn’t one. Best regards Simon.

Brian, Many thanks for your kind message, yes I agree. If I can upgrade both rear coil springs to help with heavier loads I think I should replace both mounts (as one the garage has used on the last spring looks like a completely different type to on the n/s/r). Currently looking at coil springs but cant find anything that references upgraded ones. I note you have a allroad b9, by chance, do you know where I might be able to locate upgraded ones to compensate for heavier weight loads? Best regards, Simon

Hi Cliff, yes I think its the right route to go down Gareth mentioned the Febi ones, I just to locate suitable upgradeable ones for the heavy loads. Kind regards, Simon

Many thanks for the advice Gareth.

Hi have a 2017 Audi A4 AllRoad (petrol) I have been having problems with my suspension. It failed an MOT due to a crack in the rear offside coil spring and a new one was fitted. After the fitting I noticed the ride height on the drivers side rear was much lower and as a result I have recently had that coil spring replaced as well. This does not seem to have had the desired effect and the drivers side rear is STILL over 4cm lower than its opposite side. I carry quite a lot of weight in the car as I do record fairs and use my car as the transport. Im attaching pics of both sides plus photos showing the difference in heights. Any advice would be welcome, also is this still safe to drive? Thanks SimonJX
