Default Drop suggestions???

Okay, so I'm trying to come up with some ideas for suspension on my 97 2.8QM... I am looking for anyone who has, or used to have, H&R/Eibach springs with Koni/Bilstien shocks...

I had H&R springs at one point, so I know they are good quality, and i've also had Eibach springs...

BUT, never on an Audi...[&:]

I don't know if I want a height adjustible coilover on this ride, I'm thinking something more basic will do the job just fine.

Is this a good bet???

OR

Is this worth the extra $$$???

Any pics would also be helpful...

Anyone with H&R Sport or Eibach Pros... POST UP!!!

THANKS!!!

Nate

The BEST setup is the H&R/Bilstein sport. The best price other than used would probably be from AWE tuning.

Its the best bang for the buck.

I went w/ the H&R sport springs w/ the koni adjustable shocks, i love the setup. It dropped it just where i wanted it, and i don't have a problem w/ bottoming out.

I know, I had TEIN SS on my last car, I really liked them, but I don't neccesarily need height adjustment... I'd be too tempted to slam it, LOL I don't need to be bottoming out all over again... been there, done that.[&:]
