FSD'sw/euro s/Neuspeed?
Just got my car back with the Euro springs installed- my impression so far is that it's a subtle but significant improvement. It's difficult to give a detailed analysis of the spring difference, because I put my summer stickies and light wheels back on, reset my Neuspeed rear bar to soft, and hung a 40 lb. trailer hitch on the rear.
The car does feel great, though - feels like the FSD's work more in harmony with the Euro springs. A bit more compliance on small road irregularities, a bit less weight transfer braking and cornering. The car feels slightly more secure, and very neutral. Drop so far is about 1/2".
I'll report more later on - I need to try it out on some large dips and irregularities, and take a tour through the local twisties.

Thanks for the report. I have already ordered the FSD's and Neuspeed RSB. I will order the euro springs tomorrow. I noticed that you mentioned you had the sway bar set at the soft position. Is this what you usually run?
Thanks again to everyone-I really appreciate the input.

I recently replaced my US Sport springs withEuro S-Line springs (obtained in VWvortex groupbuy) into my A3. I kept my US Sport shocks, and the Neuspeed rear stabilizer bar (set on soft both before and after the new springs were installed).
The handling is slightly firmer and noticeably more neutral. The A3 is less floaty after going over highway undulations. I can also get the rear to rotate more, especially when braking.

Thanks for the follow up on the question hesaputz.
a3_yuppie that is good to hear. I have a 07 premium and I did not like the way the car "floats" at higway speed. I think I will be happy with the decision. Call me crazy but I am not a soft ride kind of person.
