hi guys, just signed up,need some info please,can you fit standard coil spring to a6 avant 2.7 tdi s line quattro,2011,need it raised up a bit,just too low for some of the places i have to go with car,its lowered springs thats on it,any advice much appreciated

Post a pic from the side so we can see how it looks like . 

On sline you will have sport suspention -30 . I belive the shocks are shorter than the standard

That looks low... 

there is photos on niedzial but dont no if you can see them

we must have posted at same time,yeah it is low, tooo low 

What wheel is that ? 18"?

yeah think its 18,s

I think you should go back to sline springs. I bet some one have put some lowering springs and it sits like this now.

Under the spare wheel you have a build sticker . It has PR codes on what is instaled on the car . One of the codes in suspention . 

Decode the sticker here and will tell you what original suspension you had.

this is a photo of the sticker but not sure which numbers i need to use,can you tell me please

Just enter all the numbers in the boxes on the link i have send you 

1BE - sport suspention -20mm 

have you just done it for me

Anyone know the colour codes the Sline 1bv springs should be.. one side of mine has yellow blue orange orange and nothing on the otherside - which appears to sit higher than the colour codes side. Im thinking someone has fitted an incorrect spring at some point - neither spring is broken from what i can see under the car. Cant find info on the A6 C6 spring colour codes.

Yellow yellow blue front 

Orange orange blue yellow rear

Thanks Piotr for confirming. Raises my suspicion about the other spring with no markings on it.

They could have been replaced for non oem parts

Yeah thats what im thinking. Can i assume the spring colours will always be on part of the spring thats visible without removing it?

To be sure you may need to remove wheel linnings. Fronts are easier to see than rear 

Also the colours dont really mean the type of the suspension , colors are indications for weight capacity ( ei is it for 2.0 2.7 3.0 3.2 4.2 etc )

Can you remove the springs without the special audi spring compressor? 

Yep. I had mine 2 rear replaced by a local garage few weeks ago 

That good news id looked at cost of the spring compressors and they're pricey. 

May I ask what was the cost of the springs and the labour cost - as a rough estimate?
