help deciding on springs.

[thomasdodd2]

hey guys. i'm trying to decide on which springs i should get but its hard because the lowering height is always different since i have sport suspention. do you guys have any pictures of your applications that worked for you? i have the black s-line titanium. dont forget to let me know a good place i can get them. thanks.

1) eibach (the most mild drop of these three. a little lower than OEM s-line )
2) h&r ( a little lower than eibach, and with a little rake (very slighlty lower in the front))
3) neuspeed sport (same as h&r, but with no rake. so its even on all sides )

i would just search those three and you will find tons of pics. as far as buying them i would possibly check out the classifieds if you wanna buy then used for less, or even sometimes new from there.. or i would check out tirerack.com or other various forum vendors.

Thanks man! that was too easy.

I'll chime in on the Eibach Pros if you want to keep a comfortable ride (better than Audi Sport suspension) and they should work well with the sport shocks you already have. The Eibachs may only lower you another .5"-.75" from your current sport springs. I'm running the Eibachs with Koni FSD shocks and couldn't be happier for daily driving street performance on Chicago's crumbling streets.

Are the shocks/struts the same between s-line/non-sline? Just shorter & stiffer springs?

I've got non-sline and need to upgrade as well. I want lower than s-line without buying coils.. is this possible?

shocks are different between sport and non-sport.

in the long run, i would just get used Coilovers!

thx -- I think my solution is sport susp. w. H&Rs.. car needs to be winter-able :o

I'm running H&Rs on s-line shocks
Playing with spacer width will make it look sick!!
The ride is stiff and you may bottom out on large holes/rolls/dips so you'd have to go a bit slower there!
I roll to the mountains on a regular basis in the winter mos.
to snowboard and it's a daily driver around Denver/metro area and it's fine...although there is the possibility of being a snowplow when the really big snow comes.
Ride is stiff and responsive, but not outrageous.
Here it is on an avant

Happy motoring!

ataylor, I just ordered the H&R Sport Cup kit (ugh backorder sux!). Matched shocks and springs with 2" drop below my non-sport suspension. This the same thing you're getting?
Good luck man,

I need to buy s-line suspension and then the springs.


Unless.. of course, I can find the s-line suspension for sale without the springs, for a cheaper price.
