Putting some new Bilstien rear shocks on my car and in two minds whether to do the springs at the same time - existing ones are not too rusty.
My question is that there are lots of makes of springs available and some manufacturers differentiate between springs for OSS and non-OSS cars while others do not.
I fully understand why a diesel car - for example - needs uprated springs on the front (due to the significantly heavier engine).
I am thinking, yes the OSS is heavier than the Aluminium roof, but is it that much heavier that it really needs different springs on the back? Or was this a case of Audi 'over-engineering'?
