Default pre 2000 springs for sale ?

I just drove a '98 with stock suspension today and I think I'm going to back to this "stock" setup on my 2000. It is a lot firmer than my original setup and a little more forgiving than the H&R's on bad roads. I'm not crazy about the look but it'll be a little better on my car with 17's. Maybe I'll upgrade to 18's at some point.
So, I'm looking for '98 (or '97, '99) if they're the same. Does anyone know if the pre 2000 struts are stiffer as well ?

thanks,
Bob

Default Why not OE 'sports'?

Maybe a good compromise between the H&R and the 'stilty' non-sport.

Unless you want the ultimate, the Intrax-Racing adjustable custom suspension, as I just fitted.

Click the * next to the relevant text in my sig for more info.

OE "sports" = S8 ? or something else ? Not familiar with the sport option on the A8..

Default I have 97 springs that I'll give to you for shipping

However, I could build a house on my front wheel when I had them installed....check the picture poster.

I would be happy to send them to you for shipping costs. I also have the old struts, but I don't think they are worth putting in.

BTW, I'll be at the Playwright on Wed 9/15!

Default Or A8 Quattro Sport

Aren't they around in the US? Basically they have similar Recaro seats, and sport suspension as the S8 (tho not identical). About 20mm lower than std A8. Should just fit the bill for you I guess, if you want more comfort but no acrophobia.

What's your current setup? I may be interested in your H&Rs!
