Default Springs - H&R Sport or Eibach Pro Kit.....

I believe the H&R are a little lower and a little firmer...can't make up my mind...has anyone tried both or either?

Default the eibachs are softer and *supposedly* lower than the H&R's........

I say *supposedly* because H&R sport heights are all over the place....very unpredictable. I've seen everything from 1" to 2" of drop from non-sport height. For this reason I wouldn't get H&R sports.

Eibach Pro-Kits on the other hand are notorious for being too soft for their low height. They tend to bottom out in hard corners. They're simply too soft. For this reason I wouldn't get the Pro-Kits either. They're actually softer than stock sport springs.

Check out Vortrag Hyperco springs. They seem to be the spring of choice around here.

I decided to keep the stock sport springs, and upgrade the shocks to Neuspeed Bilsteins. These shocks have multiple perch settings that allow you to drop the car simply by changing the shocks...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1123069.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1123069.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I have eibach/bilstein

Ride is great, slightly stiffer than stock sport, but lower than H&amp;R sport
I rode in H&amp;R race before-very harsh
I heard H&amp;R sports vary in height(?Don't know WHY)

Depends on your preference
Harsh ride/Lower stance != daily driver

Default Can you still get Vortrag Hyperco springs...

or does Stasis only carry Hyperco springs now as part of their coilover package?

Default The rumor I've been hearing is that you have to buy at least the Stasis fixed height kit. No more

spring-only orders.
