My new ABT springs! Apparently hard to come by for a B6/B7.

When I had my Koni/Eibach kit installed it was 700 for installation/alignment at the dealership.

Nice! Which shocks are you going with? We have a bunch of Koni stuff for the B7 that would compliment the springs nicely (FSD kit: http://www.europaparts.com/koni-fsd-kit-2100-4002.html)

I'll get flamed for saying it but I am running the stock shocks until they blow. ABT designed the springs to work with the stock (non sport) shocks. My tuner also told me that he does not think they are necessary for my application (daily driver). He did say if I was autoXing it he would recommend shocks. I will update everybody when everything is on.

By the way, this is my tuner [drive].

He has since moved on to Evo/STi tuning but his roots are with Audi/VW. He did all the tuning and some work on my old STi. He never steered me in the wrong direction.
