Default A question for Eibach owners...

I just spent the day yesterday, hauling 3 of my buddies and all 4 sets of golf clubs, about 200 miles round trip. Car performed flawlessly, of course... Question is, what happens to a fully loaded A6 after Eibach's? Are they so stiff that all deflection is gone, or am I rubbing the ground? I'm seriously considering the new springs, but never thought about a full load until yesterday.

Default Re: A question for Eibach owners...

Just drove 2000 miles (Monterey historics and Pebble Beach) from Seattle with 3 adults plus luggage. Great ride on the high-way, and controlled in the twisties. The splash-guards would hit when the car was driven aggressively in the twisties, and the back-seat passengers said they were "thrown around" a lot. I chaulk it up to sour grapes as my son and I hogged all the driving.
The Eibachs are not that stiff (H&Rs are) but this all pointed out the need for better shocks for this type of driving. Bilstein Sport shocks will go on as soon as they are released (late this year or early next year).<p>Peter R Dieckerhoff
