i have a 2000 a4 b5 and want to drop it.i want to go with the eibach 1.4 inch drop all around and just wanted to know if any one could tell me if i could use the stock shocks. thanks brandon

 

you'll save yourself alot of grief with coilovers

 

just dont have the $$$ to do that right know and i just want a drop to take some of that wheel gap out when i get my wheels.

 

please help!!!!

 

seaching will tell you what to do....

you will blow your stock shocks in no time if you just do springs.. save for the coilovers..

 

yeah save for C/O or most go with Blisten adjustable with springs. but you need to do both otherwise you will blow them for sure

 

I went with grooved bilstiens and H&R springs. So far its been great and the drop is exactly what I wanted.

 

alright set ofcoilovers are about 300 dollars more than shocks and springs, save that next paycheck and get coilovers. I have konis and they are great!

 

i've heard that you blow your shocks fast with stock struts, but ive had my tein race on for about 7 months now. i am just now getting around to getting new shocks. but they are right about the coilovers, your always gonna want to go lower why not be adjustable. in my case i was happy with the drop from the race springs but now im going with the ecs coil over kit, wich shows you to just save for c/o and do it right the first time.

 

thanks guys for all the info i did talk to eibach today and they sead that it would be ok if my shocks now were good so for now i think that i will just go with that thanks again, brandon.
