Default Eibach spring question

Eibach has discontinued Pro-Kit springs for the 2.8 Avant q. Has anybody ever put 2.8 sedan springs on an Avant, or compared the rates of the sedan spring to the Avant spring? I'm concerned it will sit low in the back because the sedan spring rate in the back may be a little lower.

Default iirc when they use to have the load ratings on line......

the avant rears were 1115kg and the sedans were 1095kg. i don't thing you'll see any difference with no load but the avant may bottom out with a load on or on a bad road.

Default Yeah I did some math and....

if the springs are designed purely by the weight of the car an Avant will probably sit at most 0.2" low on sedan springs, so hopefully it will not be noticeable.

Thanks for your input, those numbers are interesting.
