I think if you already have sport package and when you change the spring, the ride won't be much different.
alpinewhite, your car looks so different now compared to the last socal meeting.. good stuff!

MikeBuzzaw, I heard HR is softer compared to Eibach. I am using Eibach myself and I like it so far. Haven't got any problem with parking structure so far
Softer or bouncier?


I don't care about stiffness. I care about bounciness and if the HR are bouncier than Eibachs, I'm going for eibachs.

But nice car alpine. I'm around FountainValley and Irvine alot, so if you see a dark blue car tailing you, its probably me.

The ride with the H&R Sport springs is not bouncy.

no, it's not bouncy with HR. What I heard Eibach is stiffer than HR.
I was using HR before on my A4 and it's great.
