Awesome. I wish I could upgrade, but alas the TPC Supercharger has drained me for the next year or two.

kkim

Ooooooo.... I like!!

Thanks for the pics, especially the one of VB. He doesn't look anything like a snake, though.


Well???? how does it handle in comparison to before? worth it?


Enjoy!

Wow. I improved handling and appearance (somewhat) with the M030 but def didn't drop enough. That actually may be too low for me, but I need to find a medium....

FisterD

Yeah, The H&Rs slam it pretty low. I like it!
I am getting an allignment tomorrow, so I didn't test it too much. My old shocks were pretty shot, so it actually feels a little smoother with the new...more responsive to bumps, rather tha just jumping over them.

Darin,

I recognize Bob's driveway in the last pic. Is that my RUF in the fore-ground?

Glad you had your install done today. It's a good day to be indoors.

Did you do sway bars as well? Enjoy the ride. BTW, beautiful wheels, what are they?

CP

Night and day difference, Darin. Like it.

FisterD

No CP,
Your RUF was being prominently displayed in the front of Bob's house. That is one cool beast you have! Bob let me take it out for a test drive......I WISH!

As for sways, I just kept the stock ones.
Wheels are 18" Factory Sport Design

Now THAT's the way to go. Awesome. Love that slammed look/ride.
What's the difference between H&R vs Eibach, in regards to height, ride, $$, etc. Any particular reason you chose H&R vs Eibach or any other springs?

Jus wondering.

Nice! I got the same suspension (along with M030 front and Twin Turbo rear sway bars) and I love it too

Mike,
A friend of mine (VW/Audi Tuner) uses only H&R springs, and he owed me a set (trade for work). The springs came from "More Power Racing" in Washington. Cost was $295, delivered to my door. He paid.

As far as Eibach vs. H&R, I've heard that Eibachs sag over time, so I decided to go H&R. Plus my friend swears by them.

As for the height difference, I am not sure. I heard Eibach lowers more than H&R, but I'm not sure. Mine slammed down pretty low! I couldn't imagine going lower than that.

No CP, that is Tom's car. Your car is tucked away inside the garage...

Very nice! Great looking car!

Getting PSS9, strut brace and Litronic installed next week. Looking forward to a new driving experience and night vision.

Hi S3,

Ex Audi driver?

I'm jealous - just what I would like. These lights are crap (though not as bad as the 3.2). Unfortunately the house is swallowing all money for the near future. I'm just hoping that it does not swallow up the car as well

Cheers,

David
