    Hello guys ..

    Had an a4 2009 quattro 3.0tdi that i just sold, but i dident sell the air suspension that i had on it, because im planing a a4 allroad build ...

    So, is there any difference between these models when it comes to the suspension ?

    Best regards Ove

    I am pretty sure they are all the same. As coilovers and other air suspension setups cover the entire B8 chassis.

    I don't think the a4 allroad has the right mountings for your air suspension if the car didn't come with it originally. I might be wrong though.

    Fwiw it's not possible to retrofit ADS (audi drive select - adjustable suspension) for non ads equipped cars. There is an additional connector on each of the shocks which has to be connected to the car chassis to enable the ADS options.

    Yes, i have seen coilovers for sale that covers b8 \ s4 allroad \ b8.5 and allroad 8.5 ..

    And, i mounted the air suspension on my b8 2009, with no problem ...and, no A4 B8 or, A4 Allroad comes with airsuspension from the factory anyways :)

    He's not talking about an OE air setup.

    OP, you should be fine using the same setup from your last car.

    I dont think the B8/.5 chassis allroad comes with air suspension from Audi, at least not in the US.

    That's exactly what he said, but your selective quote edited that part out.
