New suspension...want a tad lower than h&r sport
I'm currently running h&r sport on my factory non sport shocks because one of my springs broke and I needed a cheap fix. The springs are too soft for my taste (i had b&g springs on my saab 9000, loved em) and not quite low enough. I'm going to be replacing my shocks soon so I figured I'd try some different springs as well. Does anyone have any pictures of H&R race? How much different are they than the sport in terms of ride quality and performance? Also..how much lower are they?

Re: New suspension...want a tad lower than h&r sport
here are the specs on both H&R race and sport springs from purems site .. One reason your ride is too soft NOW is because you have the stocker crappy shocks.. i rode with a guy one time with your same setup and then in my car with the koni shocks and sport H&R springs and WHOO what a difference.. my $0.02<ul><li><a href="http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/category.php/CA=138/PA=7">http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/category.php/CA=138/PA=7</a</li></ul>

from how firm the car was and when he sent it to hard...well definitely not for street....never tried them on soft.

my 58 year old dad thinks its alittle rough for his taste but he drives a stock a6 3.0quattro..
so for him being an older guy i understand i am only 30 so i am still wanting more stiffness..
