Default AWD rear suspension.

The rear self levelling dampers are Sachs and can only be obtained as genuine replacement parts. Sachs themselves did make a complete kit for these cars but it was withdrawn.

If you want to replace it for whatever reason then I can supply just the front fully adjustable dampers and springs from the complete kit that I stock, but you would have to leave the rear as standard with the existing or new self levellers and buy just an IPD rear uprated anti roll bar to balance the suspension.

If you fit just the front uprated suspension you would tend to increase understeer which would be balanced out with the stiffer rear bar, this would give a very slight nose down attitude if you drop the ride height a bit, which will not look odd at all.

Regards, Don.

PS. for the most economical fix you can buy just the front pair of Eibach lowered and uprated springs combined with the rear bar.
