H & R springs?

Was wondering if any of u guys know a website that sells them for a good price. Average ive seen i believe is $240.

Reason for buying..

i had Springs on my last car with low profile tires/rims and they were Eibach pro springs, and they were very nice, ive read that H & R springs are very good quality for our cars as well.

I have a b7 s-line with 19's w 245's.

$236.95? How come even though your prices are lower, vendors will never directly state what their prices are

If I represented PureMS, I'd be all like, "BITCHES, come over to PureMS.com! Our prices are the fuckin shit, $236.95 for H&R sport springs is fucking awesome compared to shitty prices like $250 that other companies sell for. Get in my website bitch or I'll drive over there and hit you"

don't mean to thread jack but I am looking at lowering my car too. I was wondering what type of struts u guys are rocking with the springs as apposed to getting a coilover kit.

You don't need new struts/shocks, but most commonly used are Konis with adjustable dampening. There are also Bilstein shocks which are very nice, but are a little more aggressive and lack the adjustability.

i think for daily driving Springs are perfectly fine.

i had them on my last car, they were Eibach Pro Kit and they felt similar to stock and looked great.

i just ordered the H&R sport springs

Barring some unique stories I've heard, the For Sale threads are a great spot to pick up anything, and there's pretty much always springs posted up.

Really? i thought it wasn't good to ride on stock struts with sport springs for more than like a year. Both of my friends who have RSX's and one who has a wrx and all of them have problems with there struts now.

I spoke with a rep at www.drivewire.com, and he said Eibach springs (for example) do not make a "pro system kit" (spring and shock combo) for the Quattro A4, only the FWD. His reasoning was the B7 shocks are already semi-upgraded, and they will be able to handle the 1.2" drop easily and will not prematurely fail.

Dropping your car only 1 inch or so would be equivalent to having 2 passengers all the time or something, it's really not that big of a deal. But once you start dropping around 2 inches or something like that, the shock won't be sitting at the point it normally would, and the sharp movement of the shortened springs make the oem shocks work much harder.

I've never done just springs with no shocks before so I can't speak from experience, but that's what the consensus seems to be. A sportier spring that will bounce around more should be paired with a sportier, stiffer shock to compensate, but it's not a necessity. I'm not sure if you just put Neuspeed Race springs on when your oem shocks would blow, and I've never really heard a good answer of this happening. People just say, "my shocks blew" and don't really have much else to say. I'm just kind of a skeptic about the whole thing...

Note: Any vendors or mechanics feel free to correct me, I'm not 100% positive on this subject or anything. But nobody ever seems to reject my opinion that a mild sport spring would be fine with oem shocks.
