In this video, Mike tackles the front and rear suspension on the project B7 S4 and shows you how to upgrade your ride using Bilstein B8 performance shocks in the front and rear. We’re also pairing these up with their HD strut mounts (thanks to the great guys over at 034Motorsport!). We noticed during the repair that the front upper control arms needed to be changed, as well, so we’re throwing on some OE units from TRW.
Some benefits of running the Bilstein B8 package I have also put together for Audi B7 S4’s: – Monotube gas pressure construction – High-performance shock absorbers and struts designed specifically for lowering springs and production sport vehicles – Sport-tuned with a high level of comfort – Precision handling and optimized vehicle control – Road-tested and fine-tuned by Bilstein Originally intended to be paired with lowering springs (which may not be out of the question for project B7 later in life), these shocks are still fully capable of supporting Project B7 S4 with the factory springs and will provide exceptional ride quality.

Watching this after trying to install autozone struts
Fantastic, thank you, did this today. Apparently the open lines can be capped with a generic M12 x 1mm Female plug/cap, a couple of bucks each if I ever find them (1mm is an uncommon thread apparently).
Not upgrade but maintenance/repair: shouldn't one go ahead and replace the coil springs too?
ty alot for video! could a bad strut mount cause vibrations and clunking? got an audi a4 allroad 2015 that feels loose in the left front suspension when i go over small bumps or uneven roads…
We need a suspension DIY for the B8 cars!
Any idea what color codes are on the stock front springs? And I presume it’s a manual car
Always tighten bushes when the car is on its wheels
Great video. Thank you.
Great video. I've done suspension upgrade on the other car, but not a Audi.
Great video. Note – bilstein have told me that the stock bump stops are not to be used. They will limit travel when the shocks already have in built stops
I have a 07 a4 b7 with sline suspension what shocks would I need to have the sport suspension as I have now from oem ?? Would you guys sell it
Took off all the bolte and I still cant get the strut housing out
Somebody here might be able to help me I've a rattle going over little bumps in the road, no rattle when I hit pot holes or ramps it's doing my head, I had both shocks replaced with bilstein, lemforder control arms including the bigger lower control arms and myele HD sway bar link so all decent parts motor mounts don't appear to be leaking engine doesn't have excessive movement. What else could make noise? All the bushing were absolutely knackered and 1 dead shock so paid a small fortune to have it all replaced but now it's got a rattle, absolutely everything was torque to spec while on load I'm stumped. Oh and outer tie rod was replaced both side's they were genuine audi done at dealer technician tore one boot so had to replace both, inner tie rods are still there I'm 99% sure it not them. Any anything anybody can think of anything that could be causing this rattle.
Got a question that needs pro input. I’m in a dilemma between getting standard vs sport bilstein struts and shocks on my factory coils on an A4 B8. My budget allows me to get B4 OEs, now I’m thinking on putting standard shocks (rear) and sport struts (front) in order to maintain the ride comfort quality and have sharper handling in the front, because I know sport suspension is a little bit firmer but I want the handling capabilities that they comes with, question being is there really a drastic different in dampening when it comes to sport struts and shocks? Also will the sport or standard B4 OEs suspension change ride height from factory height? Again car is Audi A4 2010.
I drive a S4 B7 cab, does this shock fit my car?
