[s-cars] UrS4 shocks

[LL - NY]

My Eibachs lowered the car a mere 20 mm, the previous H+R's I had on my 200Q
did about the same. That being said, I'd say the Eibach/UrS combo (stiffer
chassis) works better than the 200/H+R (which are stiffer than Eibach, and
are actually still available for the UrS, unlike the Eibach) combo. Just
posting the options of stiffer springs that don't lower the car to the floor
(like Spax do).
