[Bushy S3]

i need help !!! i cant decide whether to buy springs for my S3 or coilovers as im about to buy some 18's and i think it needs lowerin ???

 

[fingermouse]

you willl need springs and shocks, Im not a fam of coilovers as I know id just set it and leave it alone so h&r`s and billys for me

 

[leshkin]

I agree with fingermouse, coilovers for the road are a little bit of an overkill

+1 for springs and shocks, my billy B8's and Eibachs are aces!!

Yeah i'd have to say go for a good springs and shocks setup. A few good options are the Bilstein B8's with either H&R or Eibach springs or the KW kit.

Just out of curiosity, whats the difference between the Bilstein & Eibach combo compared to an Eibach springs and shocks kit? (apart from price obviously).
I'm guessing the full Eibach set up is much cheaper and still a good brand, so would one really notice the diffence on road use only?

Eibach don't do dampers for the S3 8L.

Eibach do coilovers, but as Damian says, no normal shocks. Eibach tend to be on the harder side.
