So i finally ordered my springs shocks.. ended up getting the eibach fsd because im afraid of rubbing with H&R sports... its funny because i was going to buy a new amplifier for my system because my old one puked, but instead i just pulled the subs and will buy another amp another time..

My question is, does any1 have a writeup? im doing this mysefl, and i did it before on my b5 a4, so i dont think it can be that much different??? ANYONE know anything here for me?

i chose the eibach... im still pissed that i didnt get the h&r because i want it to sit LOW, but i cant afford rubbing in chicago areas.... just sucks cuz i had my a4 slammed and i loved it.. oh well i guess

you should NOT use H&R with FSDs...
The eibach/FSD won't be as low in the rear, but still pretty low in the front. and you will be happy with the ride at least!

well i was gonna get the hr bilstein setup instead but you swayed me away gigi ahha... well let me ask you this... if i changed my exhaust to nothing but piping and tips, but then added atleast 100lbs in subs/enclosure/amps haha, will it sit a little lower?

that writeup is for an avant... will the rears be any different on a sedan??

Yo project , i ended up going with Eibachs, and you wont be sad! its pretty low, anything lower would be IMO a show car. have fun, like Gigi has said before, its a pain in the ass.

i just hope its not any harder than the a4... i spent 3 hours one night with no luck on the fronts cuz of a frozen bolt on each side.. next morning cut it off and pressed it out... then bought new and did the whole thing in 4 hours... hopefully this will be pretty easy and straight forward
