[s-cars] S6 and Eibach lowering kit

[Jack Walker]

Really, 

 

I just did the refresh on my S6A last fall, all the CAs, Sway bar bushings,
diff/motor/trans mounts, strut bearings, and new Bilstein HDs,
everything..you'll have so much more performance than what's currently going
on and the ability to clear the 8" of new snow you have in the forecast, not
mention the potholes. Imperative to replace the shocks, no! But why take it
all apart to do it again later for shocks, but it depends on the wear and
tear or mileage on the ones on there, only you know that situation. I'd been
experiencing a lot of inner tire wear and nobody could get the car come
close to alignment specs, and after the refresh it aligned perfectly. Even
my wife thinks it was money well spent!

 

But having said that, I myself rounded up a complete set of strut assemblies
to lower my car and was really close to putting coilovers on, thinking I
would raise it when it snowed, and drop in the summer. Then reality sunk in
and I left it alone, because I remembered how last year I got stuck with my
stock ride height car in snow in May at Mt Hood skiing. But hey, if you want
a car with the same heights between F/R, go for the coilovers on the rear
(I've got a set I'd be more than happy to sell) and use the HRs on the front
so you can make it all the same height. God knows there's enough weight in
the front anyway, and heaven help ya if the rear is lower!
