Default February SPP Suspension Group Buy...now's your chance to get what you want (more)

As many of you know, I've been talking with Eric at Supreme Power Parts (www.supremepowerparts.com), and he has decided to sponsor a monthly Group Buy for AudiWorld. Every month, we will pick a mod that we all want for our A4's (or S4's), and he hooks us up with a great deal. It's strength in numbers.

For February, we were thinking about a suspension Group Buy. I was originally thinking that we would do a fixed-height setup (Bilstein/H&R combo), but the response that I got from everybody the first time around indicated that more people would be interested in a H&R coilover Group Buy.

So here's the deal...I want to be able to go back to Eric with an answer, so now's your chance to decide. If the following were your 3 options, which one would you pick...

1) Bilstein Sport strut/H&R sport spring combo
2) Bilstein Sport strut/H&R race spring combo
3) Intrax Motorola cup setup (Koni struts, fixed height)
4) H&R coilover

Please post up your answer, and I'll pass the info along to Eric.

I like choice 1. I don't think I'd be able to afford coilovers.

My vote would be for the H&R coilovers.

Default I'll be in for a fixed height setup...probably option 2 or 3

I'd prefer Eibach's with Bilsteins, but if we get a good deal on the H&R's for a good price, what the hell. My question is this. I don't want the H&R sport springs because they aren't low enough...is the lowering with the Intrax spring similar to the H&R race or the Eibach pro kit? Also, interms of stiffness, closer to the H&R race or Eibach pro kit? Thanks.

The Audi/Eibach sport springs are an actual Audi part. Try your dealership or clairparts.com

Default I'm wondering the same thing...

I checked out SPP and saw that the race springs drop the height a little more, but are they stiffer than sport? I plan to autocross and occasionally take it to a track.
