[s-cars] RE: H&R race spring question (it broke!)

Time for my $.02

I had H&R Springs on my 95.5 S6 for about a year.  It's a daily driver and I was scraping on almost every speed bump. It was also a pain to get a jack under it.  But it did look great and handled well.  However, after a year I had enough and I got in on a group buy for euro sport springs (Audi).  I installed them with Bilsteins and yes the ride is higher and a bit more "floaty" but no bottoming out problems whatsoever.  The height is about 3/4" less than the factory 95.5 height.  I believe these springs were very close to the factory 1992 springs. 

IMO this is the way to go unless you are planning on going onto the track.  If you are - get a 911.

Mark near Chicago & looking for 8" to 12" of white stuff

I called H&R and they said I had to deal with the company that sold the springs to me.  They also said that they would only warranty them to the original purchaser, which I'm not.  So unless I can think of something creative, it sounds like I'll need to buy new springs.

I wanted the car higher, but maybe simply buying the same springs over will fix it if they were in rough shape to begin with...
