Default Need warm and fuzzies on my 'impulse' buy - H&R coilovers (S4 variant) for my 2.8...
...want to jump in on the holiday sale price of $990.

I currently have the stock sport suspension with 16" rims. No current plans ($$) to upgrade the rims in the near future.

Any suggestions / comments / warnings?

Default Great buy. KW Var.2's are a great buy too. Make sure they're still offering the price tho......
the site said til Jan 7th only. I got an email yesterday saying they'd still honor it, but I'd call.

If you get the H&R's you;ll need a Neuspeed rear sway bar cause the F-R spring rates are the same.

....and you can now sell your stock set-up to some one not as fortunate as yourself.

Default You are doing just fine...
Be sure you post pics when you are slamming... don't forget the settling... and don't forget to get a 4 wheel alignment.

Default Check the holiday special from theracestore.com - it ended the 7th...
...but that price was honored as recently as yesterday.

You might also try to convinve tour tuner of choice to price match. (Hey, its worth a shot.)
