Wich is the best springs? Eibach or H&R

[lwen]

I am planing to change my standard springs and suspension and would like to hear from experts.
I have an Audi A3 1.8T with 320 hp engine.
Here in Brazil we have Eibach and H&R suspensions.
Wich is the best for performance and the same time riding confort? I don't want to lower to much due street bad conditions. I already have 235/45 x 17 Continental Contact 2.
Forget the price consideration, because both have almost the same price here.

Tks in advance.

Well, you can see the dyno graph in my posted messages.
I changed the standard turbocharger to a bigger one, chip remaping, exhaust system upgrade and other things.

H&R every time. Great ride and mine is dropped 50mm on 18's and ive got no complaints at all. As for 320hp, id be interested to see a full spec list as to what you have done to your engine.

Ok, I will try to describe all modifications to reach 320 hp:

* Changed the standard turbocharger to a KKK .16;
* K&N air filter;
* escaping gatherer changed to a manual made;
* Coller sparks (8Y I suppose);
* Fuel changed to alcohol instead gasoline. This may be the difference.
* ECU remapped to work with 1,4 bar (thanks to new fuel, this pressure does not compromise the engine)
* fuel pump (changed to work with 8 bar pressure)
* Exhaust System changed to a 2 1/2 inch, with no catalyser
* Som hose was substituted for a metal (aeroquip) for high pressure (oil hose)

That's all I think.
I will try to make a movie showing my speed up (0 to 60 mph) and measure. I estimate 5.5 secs, but not sure.

i dont want to be a pain but i cant see how what you have done can increase the power to 320. What hp did yours have as standard?

 

[lwen]

My standard A3 was with 150 hp (A3 1.8T 150 hp).
I will try to prove by photos and movies.

Tks.
