Hello!

Tanabe Racing Development USA is a premiere Japanese manufacturer of exhaust, chassis and suspension components.

We are currently developing new products for European cars and need several Audis for R&D and test fitment of our performance coil spring.

The cars are needed ASAP, and will be needed for one day at our US Headquarters in Torrance, CA.

If everything goes as planned with the R&D for function and fitment, you will get to keep these springs.

Construction: SAE9524 Alloy (2100nm tensile strength)
Manufacturing by: Tanabe Co. Ltd Japan, Shiga Factory (Osaka)

Individual double shot peening
Cold Wound Spring

We need the following vehicles:


1996-2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8t sedan
2004 Audi S4 Sedan

These vehicles must have stock suspension, and will preferably be in good working condition (good bushings, end links etc.)

Please call us, we look forward to hearing from you and building more products in the future!

Satan4 on here is B6 S4 and he's looking for suspension... Plus his car is nogaro blue so its a color most people don't have and it would look nice in product photos.

I did. I called them and they did use my car. I saw several other audis there too so I know I'm not the only one. In any event, the springs are a bit stiffer and a little lower over my oem sport ones. Definatly an improvement. I love it, but i think i need to change the shocks too now.
