Default b7 avant springs question?
<center><img src="http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i254/bshrednick7/newrimsnotlowered.jpg"></center><p>hey guys,
looking to put some lowering springs on my stock b7 avant .. no need for coilovers.. really just looking to lower her an inch or so..

any suggestions?

the eibach's pro kit sounds like a good fit.

thank you in advance for your feedback.

cheers,
bryan

Default pro kits are nice usually. decent (not too low) drop and they ride nice. I dont know yet
how stock shocks on this car will hold up with aftermarket springs.

Default I'm running Eibach Pro Kit with Koni Sport shocks on my Avant
Handling is much improved over stock (non-sport). Ride comfort is about the same, even on 18s

Will the ride be better if one had sport suspension and just got drop springs?

Rack 'em. This is one fine looking Avant. How much did you pay for Eibachs/Koni?

Default decide how low you really want to go...
i'm like scraping everything here with my H&amp;R's and Bilsteins...the ride is great though, not harsh at all. I'd go with a little less slam if I could do it over again.

thanks, pete .
i am not looking to go super-low at all. an inch from the stock suspension would be just fine.

eibach springs seems like the right call.
agreed?

cheers,
bryan
