Question about H&R springs (can't look up a & in the archives)
Would Bilstein or Koni shocks work better with the H&R springs? I've seen many pics on here with guys with H&R springs and the height looks great. Am I correct in assuming that regardless of teh brand of shocks, the springs will lower equally in the car? Also, would Koni shocks ride better since they are adjustable?

The ride is definitely sportier. But not at all hard. I like knowing I can soften up hte suspension when we go for a long road trip with my wife & daughter.

Originally I put just the Eibach springs on with the stock struts/shocks. The ride did
improve tremedously. Cornering was pure pleasure. I put the Koni's on 2 weeks ago because for one, the stock struts were getting a little rough. With the new setup, I can drive faster more confidently. I really like it, but I haven't ridden in a car with Bilstein.. so I can't compare. But I enjoy it, makes the car handle great. Many here also have the Koni/Eibach combo.. and are more knowlegeable about it. THey might want to chime in..
