List of Spidan Springs
For the benefit of all, here are the Spidan springs available, including their tech specs...
49527: Front spring for the 1.4 petrol without OpenSky. .............................Thickness: 11.15mm, Length: 342mm, Diameter: 139mm, Weight: 1.55kg
56831: Front spring for the 1.4 petrol with OpenSky. .................................Thickness: 11.10mm, Length: 337mm, Diameter: 138mm, Weight: 1.541kg
49515: Front spring for the 1.4 TDI and 1.6 FSI with and without OpenSky. ...Thickness: 11.50mm, Length: 338mm, Diameter: 137mm, Weight: 1.7kg
49546: Rear spring for all A2s. ..............................................................Thickness: 09.75mm, Length: 338mm, Diameter: 107mm, Weight: 1.3kg
There is also a rear spring (56833) supposedly for cars with OpenSky, but this results in a back end noticeably higher than SE.
The specifications for 56831 (Petrol with OpenSky) confuse me a little. They appear to be 5mm shorter and slightly lighter than the 49527 springs (Petrol without OpenSky), which considering they're designed for the extra weight of the OpenSky system is a little counterintuitive.
Note that, at the time of writing, I only have experience of the 49527 springs for my specific application. The general consensus on the German forum is that all Spidan springs offer increased comfort over their direct Audi counterparts.
Cheers,
Tom
