H&R springs

dinanx6f16 · 03-11-2019, 09:02 PM

Hi everyone! I've been trying to decide on getting either the H&R springs or the Einbach springs. I'm looking for something that'll give a significantly noticeable drop, without causing the ride to be "bouncier". I don't mind a slightly stiffer ride, but I can't stand more body roll.

Are these only for those without rear air suspension?

AFAIK, the H&R has around 40-45mm drop as opposed to Eibach, which has a 20-25mm drop.

H&R drops more but also gives more bouncy.

HR springs alone yes but the HR VFT is very different from what I've found they are as good as the Eibach with the added feature that you can go a little lower...

Yup as long as you have rear air bags, you're good to go.

Damnit Ben wait till I wash it to show it off lol
Ben is great to work with guys drove two hours to get to his shop and it was well worth it. VTF are set to 1.5 inches lower than stock and it rides almost the same until you hit a speed bump or a big dip but normal traffic and freeway speeds I didn't notice a huge difference.
Thanks Ben!
