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

[Sean Douglas]

The european sport springs can be bought from Europrice
http://www.euro-audi-parts.com/

They are listed at $556, more than Eibach, not sure how much new H&Rs
are worth. The euro sport springs lower the car 20 mm and are not quite
as stiff as the Eibachs.

I have a set of these in a box waiting for installation...
