It looks like TireRack has decided (or been told) what is appropriate
for each Audi model, ride-quality-wise:

For the 200, they show the H&R as well as a couple different eibach sets

For the urS-car, they show the H&R and only one eibach

For the V8, they just show the H&R.

But since the S-car and V8 share the same spring rate (and therefore
same H&R part no.), the one eibach shown for the S-car will also fit the
V8.  I believe it's just not offered as an alternative to the H&R due to
the S-car's sportier personality.  Unfortunately TR doesn't show the
part numbers.  But I'd have no problem ordering the S-car's eibach setup
-- less expensive and lowers the front enough to keep the rear end from
rubbing folks the wrong way.

That said, Jeremy's ride w/ Konis and H&Rs looks pretty good to me, and
I have more confidence in H&R's quality and resistence to problems.  The
only Eibach experience I have was a set I put on my 4kq, which impressed
me not much at all.
