Bilstein B8 + H&R Sport Springs = ??

[Game]

Anyone running this setup?

The Pro-Kit is a little tame for my liking as far has drop height goes and sadly the Bilstein sportline kit isn't available for the S4/S5.
Therefore without forking over B16 money this seems to be my best bet as far as quality and drop height. Has anyone tried this setup? Or perhaps with a similar spring?

(This thread is not referring to the H&R OE Sport springs)

--Thank you

In for info as well. I'm currently on H&R OE's and would like a tad more low. Hoping Bilsteins paired with sport springs gives a good ride.

Not sure about your question but I've heard a lot of good reviews about hr street performance coilovers. It's not b16 money but height adjustable. You can even go with their ultra low coilovers. Both of them are ~$1200.

I had this setup. Very solid, perfect drop, and great handling with little effect on ride comfort.

For the track though it's no substitute for the PSS10.

I sold my setup to a guy who was on OEs with OEM shocks who wanted a bit more low and he loved the result.

I have the B12 kit and may be switching to the h&r sports to get it lower and hopefully level.

Awesome, any pics of the setup?

Great setup with the PSS10 though out of my budget.

Oh sorry figured that was with the PSS10. Have any pics not in motion? haha.

That'd be great, thanks.

Did you buy the B8's separately or purchase the B12 kit and sell the springs?

Can you explain what you mean by getting it level Caymanite? I've been thinking of getting the B12 kit. Front higher/lower than the rear?

Separate.

I'm running HR OE's and Bilstein B8 shocks. Great combo. I'm sure HR Sports would do well also - a bit too low for my liking though.

If you look at the bottom of the car from the side it is not level, the rear sits higher

Awesome thanks! Seems to be the route I'm going, set it and forget it. I'll get a little cash back selling my OE's as well. OE's look great on the S4, but I think for my S5 coupe the sports will look better with the coupe if that makes sense compared to the current OE's I have on now.

Black car is OE Sport with stock shocks. Red (mine) is Sport with B8 Sport Shocks. IMO just go with the H&R Sport unless you LIKE wheel gap.

Just know that when you cheap out and get springs over coils this is gonna happen every time you hit the brakes ;)

Nope! That looks great. Love it. Thanks for making up my mind.

Is that 0 finger gap?

Vanimal -

Bump, anyone else try this combo?

[Caymanite]

Soon as I find some used sport springs I will give it a try.

Pretty sure there's a set being sold right now in the classifieds section.

[Caymanite]

Those are the OE sport and not the sport

Im sure they'll fit, but part numbers are different between the S4 and S5 models.
