Default H&R, MTM, APR or Eibach Springs.....Which is the best for the money???

What are your recommendations regarding any of these springs when used with the stock shocks for a 2000 S4 with 22K miles? I can't stand the big gap on the car and want to maintain a good quality ride similar to stock. Thanks!

Default H&R Coilovers are the way to go !!

I put the MTM springs on my S4 with the stock shocks and it does not even compare to the coilovers that I have on there now.

Default Yeah, but they cost more than twice as much...

From what I recall, only MTM and Eibach springs were designed for use with the stock struts. For the H&R and APR springs, you should upgrade to aftermarket struts (i.e. Tokico, Bilstein, Koni). Because MTM's cost twice the amount of Eibach springs, I'd opt for the Eibachs.

Default s4-44 was nice enough to give me ride in his S with H&R Street Coilovers.

Very nice ride on stock rims and tire size. You could go over bumps ok but when u lean into a turn u can tell its aftermarket suspension.
