[s-cars] New Eibach spring rates

[Tony]

Hi Noah,

I have all those parts except for the springs. Am about to pull the trigger
on purchase of either the Eibachs or teh H&R 29921s. The Eibachs would
appear to be a bit softer. I am also replacing the wheel bearings and outer
CV joint rubbers. I also have a pair of control arms in the mail from
www.germanautoparts.com which are good value at $89.25 each. Save doing them
all later. I also have a set of front slotted rotors and pads. Whilst it's
all apart might as well get it all done.

Good luck

Tony
