Default Suspension poll: Which spring with Bilsteins shocks - Eibach or H&R? <edited>

I have been cruising the threads via search, but some info very dated, many others may have changed opinions over time. Not doing coilovers, just too expensive.

I should add that I am mixed driving (city/highway) not racing the car. Would prefer to avoid very harsh ride, since I drive into City of Lynn every day for work. Not the best streets.

Thanks for your input!

Default H&R. I rode in a A6 4.2 with the H&R/Bilstein combo.

This suspension was actually for the S6, but worked well in the 4.2. Very decent ride quality with no dive or squat. Leaning in turns was also dramatically reduced (stock sway bars).

From what I've been told, the "softer" nature H&amp;R springs (as opposed to the Eibachs) work well the "stiffer" nature Bilsteins (as opposed to Konis).
