    I have a d2 and i already have it lowered with the eibach kit but it doesnt seem low enough. Is there anything else i can do besides the coilover kit or airbags?

    Thanks

    Well, the suspension on my car seems pretty low already and it's stock. Most of the time people ask me if I lowered it. Maybe you should try the stock S8 suspension?? How low does your car sit on the eibachs? and are your eibachs settled in yet???

    yea, if you have potholes in your area, your best bet may just be to keep it as is and get larger wheels. i hear nothing but bad things about people ripping off their bumpers after getting coilovers on their 8s. either way, it'll look sexy as long as the stance is right. easiest way to obtain the stance and safe your bumper would be to get 20s and keep the minor drop up front.

    I have a D-2 with H&R coil overs...its a great set up! I wouldn't trade it for anything...well except and R8 or new S8 or...well you get the drift - anyway the down fall is YES you'll rip your front bumper off numerous times. I believe I've done it approx 8 times in two years. You scrape all kinds of entrances and exits. My advice is if it fits your budget to do the coil overs..DO IT!! But be aware of the curbs.

    Good Luck
