[V8] V8 springs

[RockinV8Q at aol.com]

I actually liked that setup on my 200 ;) However I now have Eibachs and  
Bilstien Sports and without a doubt it's my opinion this is the single best type  
44 combo I've driven to date. Ride is taunt without being the least bit harsh, 
 transitional handling is excellent as quattro's go too.

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 :-)
