V8 Suspension upgrade
Dave,
You ever figure anything out regarding different springs for your V8 (I
believe it was 2 months ago)? As I recall, you have the H&R's with
factory-correct valved bilsteins. I thought Eibach made a spring set for the
V8, and I believe the Eibachs are linear springs, whereas the H&Rs are
progressive rate? And then there's APEX (Canada, believe).
Anyhow, though mine's an Auto, I plan on keeping it for a while and just
uprated the wheels to 8x17 Compomotive five-spoke 30mm offset with Dunlop
SP8000 235/45/17s. They really ride well considering the reduced sidewall
height and look awesome.
I had fun at the Quattro Club USA Safety Seminar at Grattan Raceway in
Michigan three weeks ago and was planning on Denver this weekend, but know I
wouldn't have fared well after driving 20 hrs each way without a copilot.
