[s-cars] where do I find Eibach...

[James Murray (LMC)]

I wonder... if there is much of a ride difference between the H&R S6+
springs (29771) and the H&R V8 Springs (29921).

On Jimmy's site he noted the  29921 as "This spring is probably most
comparable to the Eibach Pro".

If the S6+ springs have a heavier spring rate I would imagine them to be
stiffer than the V8 springs.

	Hey Nic-

	Hmmm...  what you say you've 'heard' goes against both what I've
'heard' as
	well as have recently 'measured and experienced'.  Typical of the
rumor mill
	of course (though I do not mean to imply you don't know what your
talking
	about 8-)).

	Here's why:

	WRT ride height, Bob R. and I recently completed my H&R S6+ springs
/
	Bilstein Sport installation on my '95.  Bob came over in his '95 mit
Eibach
	/ Bilstein Sports.  We both run neu S6 Avus'.  We measured both cars
upon
	completion, F&R, from center hub straight up to fender lip.  While I
don't
	recall the EXACT measurements, the consensus was that my car was
lower, by
	maybe 1/4" IIRC (Bob?).

	WRT ride quality, Bob and I actually traded cars for the day the
following
	Sunday (yes, we're very very weird), to determine the differences.
We both
	concluded that there was not a TON of difference between the 2
springs,
	however, the H&R's were stiffer, rebounded notably better and more
	controlled, and did not produce a harsh ride.

	WRT Koni's, though I have not driven on them, I considered them when
I was
	choosing shocks.  Everyone I talked to had poor things to say, like
poor
	longevity, harsh ride, etc.  Though again, that's rumor mill.

	So, HTH in your spring crusade.  Good luck!  Bob's actually
pondering
	swapping his Eibach's out for the H&R's, just needs to determine
whether or
	not the noted difference is compelling enough to justify the labor
involved.
	Hey Bob, I DO have more Newcastle for you should you wanna go for
it!

shocks?
	Yikes!

	Just what the topic says. I know they have been discontinued, but I
would l=
	ike to have a set. My Bilstein/H&R set up is just not right, not low
enough=
	 and hits hard on Seattle roads. It is my understanding that the
consensus =
	is the Bilstein with Eibachs goes lower than H&R and rides a little
more on=
	 the comfy side. Maybe Koni's as well? Any input would be helpful.
Sorry to=
	 open up this topic again but really I am just looking to get a set
of spri=
	ngs that will go a little lower than the H&R's. Thanks in advance
and feel =
	free to email directly.
