There's no F in Quality..
As oldoiler has said, they're a way of lowering the front of the car.
They're actually Audi A4 (B5) spring cups, which fit the B7, but cause the spring to sit higher in the chassis, causing the suspension to lower......
However, again I'm not sure if any Exeo owners have tried fitting them? I don't see any reason why they won't fit however.

Did anyone have the bixenon headlights adjusted after lowering the car?
They have auto adjusters.
Sorry to drag this up but how do you strip the front to fit the springs. Done the back but the front was winding me up.
I'm afraid none of the suspension work is easy on these cars, I couldn't even do my rear springs so I sent it to the garage down the road. This video shows you how to do it, but misses out several hours of swearing.
The pinch bolts that hold the upper arm ball joints to the knuckle are a particular problem with these cars, Passats, A4s, A6s, Superbs etc. They're a different metal to the knuckle and weld themselves in over time. My local garage took an hour each side to get them out. There are lots of solution videos on YouTube but none are easy and 99% of them are using air tools in a workshop. I wouldn't do this one on the drive, and I'd order 2 pinch bolts & nuts from TPS before starting the job as the old ones will probably need to be cut and broken in two.
Lots of people of the Facebook Exeo group run Eibachs, they look good but I think the front goes too low for where I live so I've put the Sport springs on my SE.

Or....
Don't even touch the pinch bolt and remove the two top arm bolts and save yourself hours of pain! Just remember the retorque them under suspension compression.

You can go down that route but Exeo's are getting to that age where the arms are coming up as advisories on MOTs. Mine were advised 7 months ago, they've had it now! The longer you leave the pinch bolts the more welded they will get. May as well get it out of the way before it costs more in labour.
