Default Audi eibach springs, bilsteins, & neuspeed 19mm rear anti-sway installed tommorrow...Q:

I have been reading the archives & am a little confused... do the bilsteins I bought from shox.com have adjustable perches? (haven't been able to look @ them) I read that only neuspeed bilsteins were adjustable.

Like only the front or the rears(one or the other...don't remember) have adjustable perches. But the good thing is you can send the ones without the extra grooves back to Bilstein and they can put more grooves in the shocks for real cheap....I wanna say like 50 bucks or something. The Neuspeed's come with grooves in the front and rear.

Default regular bilsteins only the rears have an adjustable perch... neuspeed bils have em f + r...

I have the exact same setup (Audi-Eibach and regular bilstein)... my rears are on the lowest perch. Check my picture poster for pics.

Default looked at you picture poster... looks like even (level) ride height

with the bilsteins set lowest at back, is that about right? Also, have you liked this setup? thx!

Default yes. as for the setup...

I think that it is a little too low for how soft it is. I was having rubbing issues with only slightly aggressive wheel/tire setups.

Otherwise, the ride is quite good for a lowered car and it's really not all that much more harsh than stock. I think the shocks make more of a difference thatn the springs in terms of feel.

Overall, I like it, but if I were to do it again, I probably would have gotten the stasis/hyperco springs.
