Hello one and all.... its been many years since I've been on here.. life, work - the usual.

Still have the same old one, one engine build later and many bits of tinkering - its getting the suspension refreshed.

For the last 9 years or so it's had some ST coilovers.... they're now more flogged than a flogged thing on flogging day. As such I'm looking to go back to shocks and springs than a coilover, despite my best efforts its never been a track car. I'm getting older and prefer comfort, who knew.

Current suspension setup - SuperPro Wishbones & Ball joints, H&R ARB's, Tyrol dead set kit

What to go for; OE Sachs shocks and Eibach springs, or H&R? I can't readily see any real images of the 'drop' - I'm not after much lowering but would like an even look front to back - I beleive the Eibach are just front springs? Maybe a bit more compliant... for our amazing Yorkshire roads up here!

Anything I've not considered?

So really, just opinions and your experiences, maybe some images!?

Appreciate any input, A
 
My 09 was quite saggy on the stock springs so I recently installed the eibach pro kit (front & back). Sits very nicely and evenly now (no scraping with a slightly over aggressive rim offset). The ride is also very nice (firm, but not harsh).
Definitely would recommend them, but I'm only comparing to worn stock A3 springs and no reference to the other options.
