Default coilovers?

Those look a lot like the Eibach springs

Default Are the front dampers new OEM? Aftermarket? Do the S-Line TT's dampers have the same part numbers...

...for the dampers as the standard TT? How much are the S-Line springs (well, how much would it be for someone not @Strat)?

How many more questions can I fit into one posting without making a statement? Who knows?!

Default I quess your right but there were some pretty heated exhanges about 2 years ago>>

when coil overs etc were hotly debated and I guess I just did not want to offend anyone who has the system and me coming in and saying otherwise.

Default It's not 1/2 to 1/2, because the spring perch isn't at the axle, preload shouldn't change...

significantly, just by 1+sin(x)/1+sin(y) (or similar?), where x and y are the angle the body sits at as the change in height shifts weight from/to the other axle. In any case, it would be insignificant unless you're running out of suspension travel.

Default So Eibachs and ABT springs are less Coil bound.

I wonder if we could get one of the companies to arrange a GB on rear springs only? I have the H&R COs, but they are not on my car yet. Does anyone know if these are as bad as the bilsteins?
