    I would love to go H&R Race but...

    So please post up your experiences with ride quality and pics as well thank you! Oh and you rim size also

    ugh now your making my decisions even harder... I had H&R Race springs crossed out and i was down to B5 S4 rims and BBS LM reps, now i like the way those rs4 rims fit the b5 lines too... UGH thank you though

    I would think that the H&R Sport springs will be about the same height, but probably offer a tighter ride. If you dont care about the drop, then Id just stick with how you are now with your new addition coming along.

    I would also like to know about this. I'm looking for a nice drop at an affordable price and I wasn't sure if keeping the stock sport struts was a good idea with aftermarket springs, but now I'm reconsidering.

    I ran H&R Race spring for around 2 years on Sport shocks and 6 months with RS4 shocks and I loved it firm but hot too harsh and in my opinion give the best ride height when weighing all the spring options.

    Stock sport suspension


    H&R Race spring with stock shocks.

    Here is the new look (please excuse the roughed up rim, most of them look like that due to the prior owner not knowing how to parallel park ):

    Here's my thread, http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207474 (H&R Race on Sport Shocks)

    I am using 17" rims now and the ride is still awesome. Drive it every day.
