What is difference between H&R Race springs and Eibach Pro?
I notice these two springs seem to be the most popular choices for lowering A4 (in conjunction with the bilstein struts). Are there any differences between them?

I think this is how it goes...
In terms of ride height (can someone confirm?)...
H&R sport
Eiback ProKit
H&R Race
In terms of ride, the Eibachs are softer than the H&R's, and Todd@AWE has said that the spring rates on the Race vs. Sport are the same, so in theory the only difference between the two H&R springs are ride height.

Yes, that part is fact (it's the exact height of the H&R's relative to the prokits that I'm unclear
about). Sorry, I should have stated that.
My prokits and bilsteins dropped my car to a 1.5 finger gap in rear, and 1.25 in front (00 1.8TQM).

Some would argue that it's not necessary if you already have the "sport"...
...suspension. I would argue otherwise. Several folks have done the spring-only swap and then 6-12 months later upgraded the shocks also as they weren't happy with the ride. Save yourself the some labor expense, and install shocks and springs at the same time.
