Default Okay, I have suspension questions

Well, I know this is the wrong forum, but this one gets more traffic.

Car: 1998 Audi A6
Problem: Ride sucks and is now boring
Solution: New suspension

Issues baring solution: I don't know what to get, I know I have the choices between Ebiach and H&R, what should I choose?

H&R's are better IMO. they seem stronger and have a better feel when riding on them.

couple choices:
- Coilover setup
- Shock Spring setup

If you plan to changing ride height on occasion (or are tracking your car) then coilovers are for you
Otherwise a shock spring combo is cheaper and all you will need.

H&R coilovers are good
Koni coilovers are good
B&G are decent as well

Bilstein has good shocks.
Koni has good shocks (not so stiff as Bilstein, but more $)

Neuspeed, H&R, Eibach all make springs.
Eibach are fairly soft and give a cushy/bouncy ride - I don't like em.
Can't go wrong with Neuspeed or H&R. Depending on the wheel gap/stiffness of ride you want, choose between sport springs or race springs.

that should be enough to get you started on searching the archives.
