    Is it bad to be running any of these springs without the replacing the sline shocks?

    Re: Lowering Springs for S-Line

    The better question who here has done the drop with these different brands
    of springs that know for sure they have s-line (red shock housing) suspension.
    And what is H&R's drop since they seem reputable but have no info on the
    our FAQ???? And also what it looks like with just our puny little 18s???

    It depends. If you go to a serious racing spring with ~2+" drop or even the stiff "street" H&Rs at 1.5", a stock shock (non-sport shock) will yield a more bouncy ride as its valving was not designed for the stiffer spring rate.

    The Eibach Pro springs, being 1.5" drop but with a progressive spring rate, may enable you to use your stock shocks without as much bounce as they are softer than H&Rs at the initial compression moment of regular driving. However, stock non-sport shocks will wear exponentially faster with lower and stiffer springs no matter what you use if the springs drop the ride height.

    A better side angle of the Eibach + Koni FSD on the B7. I'm about 25.5" from front fender lip to the ground. The wheels are stock 17".
