There you have it Rich, same answer from all H&R owners.
Eibach honestly drives nicer than stock 100% of the time.

So softer? More compliant?

It's hard to describe, but I guess more forgiving is the way I would answer it.
Eibach merely allows all coils in the springs to operate at the same time vs the H&R's starting at one coil and compresses to the next and the next etc.
Don't get me wrong, H&R's are still an improvement. Actually, any springs just about is an improvement over VW's factory rear bounciness of a car. :fighting:

I ran H&R's for a year and agree with what RichWig says :happy2:
Slightly firmer than stock but not at all uncomfortable, which is exactly how a 200+ BHP hot hatch should feel. Anything more compliant than stock springs wouldn't inspire as much confidence IMHO.

Thanks Guys, i'm pretty sold on the H&Rs to be honest!
Its going in to the bodyshop next week while im in New York for a few minor touch ups, then once it is out it is booked in for Springs, FMIC, DV+ and a remap. Its going to be like a new car by the end of March. Cant Wait!!
