I used Eibach on my old Supra, and they where very good progressive springs with a good ride height. Can't comment on their Audi applications though, but would assume they are equally as good.

My experience is on my 1985 80 Sport. noticably lower, progressive, softish ride and are still ok after 68000 miles. They were a nice shade of yellow but after eighteen years most has been replaced with a dull red -ish tinge!

MrBertie,
Booking them in next week. Got quoted £540.00 from both Fontain Audi and Power Engineering. I'll let you know when they're done and try and post some before and after pics.
I say try because it's very rare I can upload images on here.

Is that 540 for just the springs and fitting?

Yes,
Springs, fitting, geometry set-up and VAT. I have 'stumbled' accross some more money so I'm now tempted to go for a full kit.

I had Eibachs prgressive on my G40. I felt they were V good for a road car, but not the best handling for track use. I really liked em. decent soak up and decent handling... good compromise.
The only thing that was wrong was that they were supposed to be -40 spring but looked the same as std ( which I didnt mind as it was a sleeper).

Dazzer,
Do you think £540.00 is expensive..?
