At least if push came to shove you could drive over the top of him ;-)

Man, this is getting brutal. All in time my friend. My 18's certainly don't help.

Default I looked for the Eibach... but no kit was to be found. I went with the H&R race springs...(more)

They have been absolutely wonderful. The ride quality barely deteriorated if at all over that of my worn out stock springs. The install was easy, everything came apart and went back together well. Did it in a friends garage in about 8 hours total. (The rears take about 30 minutes).

I've heard great things about the Eibach kit too, other than not be able to get one. If you live anywhere near southern NH and want to try out the H&amp;R send me an email.

Default Re: EvanUrS4, I was thinking to get H&R race springs...

but went with sports instead. Was advised that with race springs ride can be very harsh. Did you have other aftermarket springs previously to compare with current springs.
I am runnig H&amp;R sports with Biltein sports.

Default I've driven another 93 Urs4 (not mine) with the H&R sports...

It felt very similar. To be honest I'm not sure I could really tell that much of a difference. The race springs feel only marginally stiffer, and the ride on the sports didn't feel much softer.

When I called to place the order I was going to do the sports, but when I was told that the race springs only lowered it an extra 1/20th of an inch, I decided to go for that. I'm only 21... my butt can take the abuse of the occasional rough road =)

In retrospect... I think I'd do race springs again. But I really don't think they are very different. Both feel absolutely incredible compared to stock.
