s4 springs on a 2.8 v6 or eibach springs

RobMorgan · 11-27-2007, 04:24 PM

i may be upgrading the springs on my car
i have 2 options:

fit standard s4 springs
will they fit ok? if so, how much lower will the car be?

fit eibach lowering springs from 2.8 avant
will the avant springs fit my saloon? how much lower would it sit?

which should i go for?

imo,h&r springs w/ blistein shocks are the best way to go.eibach isn't to bad but i think h&r give it a nicer drop.

S4 spring will jack up your car not lower it.

Yes but it also weighs more than your engine so you will sit higher than a S4 and yes it's been done before.
