Good points, Keith, except that the Eibach Springs are pretty well
balanced to the V8, but are also spec'd for the later C4 chassis
cars. Don't remember the number off the top of my head. 200 Springs
would be way to soft and would give the lower ride height without the
proper spring rate. Which reminds me when I got to meet Keith at the
(local to him at the time ) Citgo with his red 200q20v riding on UrS4
springs. Can you say Rally Height? Lol. Raised the car at least an
inch higher than stock all around :-)
