yeah i was gonna get them b/c i found them for $799 and people were saying they were good. but then my mechanic buddy told me that euro cars should stick with euro coil-overs and jap car w/ jap co. an i couldnt afford the H&Rs so i just got spacers in my sport suspension.

did you get the coilovers? basic or ss? whats your setup right now? i could get the basic for just around 600 plus shipping. considering that, because i dont need the 32 way adjustable ss ones.

Had the SS installed last week, great feeling so far and i am going in for my adjustments this week. I think i would like the front just the smallest bit lowered and perhaps a stiffen up of the back. I was planning on installing an rs4 rear sway but don't know if i should put it on while they are adjusting the car or does it make any difference at all?

well...it will make some kind of difference...but since you got the SS with height/damping adjustment...it can be adjust to your liking...for me on thetein basicwith theh&r rear sway bar...the car is morewell balance....when pushing hard on cornering....no oversteer or understeer...without it...i got little oversteer....ofcourse alignment adjustment also help too....

I thought that with a stiffer rear end (with a rear anti-sway) you'd get more oversteer, not less. Am I wrong?
