Q to all with Eibach+FSD.

Please give your ride hight. I do not want to see posts about how bad or good this set up is.
just give your ride height in cm or inches.

so how was it, did you like it?

[Maverick]

yeah. it was very good. good handling, comfortable, ride height is lower that sport suspension.

[jcg05c]

Looks just like stock sport suspension

[max]

how much is the koni fsd shocks for the b6?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like the 02 sports suspension to me.

[jcg05c]

Yep. Thats the whole reason i didnt waste my money on that setup.

It was a good setup for a non-coilover package. When I did it, the FSD shocks were not approved for use with the Eibach Pro-Kit springs, or any toher non-OEM springs for that matter. You can now buy them packaged together. I felt the ride height could have been lower, especially in the rear. But, this is the problem with most spring/shock combos. Most shocks are designed to operate efficiently/properly within a certain height range. Outside of this "sweet spot", the ride quality rapidly deteriorates. This is especially true with the FSDs. I think this is why the FSDs were not approved to work with anything but stock springs at first. I have seen many pics of the Eibachs with other shocks and the ride height was much lower. With the FSDs, the rear shocks are gas pressure and seem to raise the rear more than others. Over certain surfaces, especially concrete roadways, the FSD/Eibach combo felt what can best be described as jiggly. This was especially annoying as I had a "jiggly" patch to drive on every day on my commute to work.

I upgraded to a Vogtland coilover setup and it was the best thing I ever did to the car. In addition to the obvious advantage of ride height adjustability, this setup has a very supple ride. It is good even with 30 series tires on 20" wheels. It is still outstanding with 5 people in the car. This is the benefit of using a damper/spring combo that are designed to work together. Cost for this setup was about $1100 vs. the $750 of the Eibach/FSD combo. Well woth the additional $$ in my opinion. Do it right and do it once. I think you will find everyone on here and AW are all very pleased with the Vogtland coilovers. The only setup better than this would probably be KW v3, but they are substantially more money.

Here's a picture of the car I took last week with the Vogtland COs and BBS CK 20" wheels, 30 series tires.



Very pleased with this setup, although I should have gone 19s as the 20 are a bit of overkill.

do you people read my question? I want ride hight measurement not BS how it rides or pictures.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Sorry about all the "BS" but people do want to know, they asked, about pics. I also gave my input on what I thought of the setup. Again, when I was researching the FSD shocks, I wish I had had this insight as I probably would have gone with the Vogtland COs from the get-go.

To answer your question, 25 1/4" front, 25 1/2" rear.

damn that's pretty harsh, man. I think people were just trying to help.

[a2gtinut]

I know one forum member who has setup in question and refuses to measure his car.
