Got my eibachs installed a couple days ago. Lowered the stance about 1" back and 1.5" front. I can't believe how much better it feels and handles now.

Looks great! Who installed it for you?

Thanks! There's a Les Schwab about 5 blocks from my house (walking distance) so I had them do the install so I didn't have to worry about getting a ride to and fro. Total out the door was $750. Probably could've got'em cheaper since LS requires that you buy the springs from them but the convenience factor was big for me.

Very nice! I got the H&R springs a few weeks ago, I haven't the time to put them on yet. H&R gives you about 2"drop all around, and I've always felt that this is a bit much for my liking.

I do like a slight drake look with a little lower stance on the front. I think I'm going to put the H&R on sales and get eibach instead. Anyone interested in my H&R let me know.

Looks perfect! Just a tad more aggressive than the stock sport suspension. Much better than the H&R drop, which is a bit too "lowrideresque" IMO.

Side note: I love the S-Line style wheels... Ordering a set for my "winter" setup. Which set did you order (ET25 or 35), and from where? Are you running spacers? Thnx

Thanks a lot! I discovered these in my numerous google searches for Audi OEM wheel options. After much deliberation I chose these. I love how they look in motion.

Turns out this style is only offered on non-U.S. models so I found some replicas at Hartmann which is local to me with an outstanding reputation for quality. They didn't have the exact offset in stock at the time so I also purchased some spacers thus I didn't have to wait. Check out their website... they also have a new dark mat grey finish that may be to your liking as well.

I totally dig the red quattro plate on your front end.... did you paint it?

Question for eibach and h&r owners, any tire rubbing with the OEM 20inch wheels? Is the handling way better besides the nice looks? How low is too low? I dont want to be concerned about every single curb or coming out of downhill driveways and scratch the whole spoiler when reaching the street.
