Hey guys, I just finished installing H&R springs (New from H&R) front and back on my 1990 Audi 90Q 20V (2 piece uprights). I now have rake like a muscle car which was not the desired outcome. Upon opening the box I noticed that the front and rears were the exact same spring, same size, same markings, same part numbers. Is there supposed to be a specific front and rear spring? I didn't think much of it as the front and rear suspension setups are very similar and maybe they even used the same spring. I am guessing I was wrong. Also, my springs are red and all the ones online that I see are blue/purpleish. Did I get the wrong setup? Or maybe they mixed up what goes in the box? I noticed in an ebay listing the purple springs being sold as belonging to a 90Q20V had a front and rear, but I am not sure how accurate those pictures were.
Before install, all stock
half way through install, front H&R, rear stock
Finished install, front H&R, rear H&R
My Kit, #50311
H&R's website verifies the kit needed for my car is #50311.
The car did not lower in the rear after releasing the E-brake, pulled out of gear, and quick drive around the neighborhood.
