?? about ride quality with H&R springs ?? Hey there new to the Whole V's i see that alot of you guys are running the H&R springs.. i am about to start doing things to the car soon and see that the H&R springs are pretty much the best bang for the buck.. I just dont want to lose alot of the ride comfort i currently have on my 05 V and where can I buy MM offset kit? Thanks for all your input i would like to slam this thing ASAP!

Harsh in town, smooth as a Cadillac on the highway. The look and clearance is PERFECT when done, though. M&M is on this forum and is great to deal with. Send him a personal message or post a thread asking for him and he should be along to help soon.

Youll definitely feel bumps and rough roads ALOT more once lowered. I personally dont mind it at all but if you want that Cadillac ride, dont lower it. Reading your sig (slammed C5) I guess you know what youre getting yourself into.

I see azn2damax just picked up the eibachs pro kit in the classifieds. They don't make these anymore for our car and I was fortunate enough to have them installed when I bought the car. Aside from being lowered I cant tell any discomfort in my ride plus they don't drop you as low as the H&H in the rear to prevent those tires bottoming out on bumpy turf. See if you can scavange a set somewhere I honestly love mine. First time Im not cursing having my car lowered and it doesn't feel like im sitting on boards the whole time.

People complain about the ride, the quality of the interior, the fit and finish of the exterior, how crappy the nav is, even how small the steering wheel is.....
It makes me wonder what kind of cars these people were driving previously, in order to become so accustomed to such perfect machines.
Sorry for the thread hijack OP, I don't have anything to add regarding H&R springs. I can't lower my car because the turbo charge pipes are under the engine cradle.

Sorry you disagree. The ride is rough comparative to other cars in its class (E55, RS6, M5, RS4, Etc).
Came from the Audi Community. Fit and finish of the vehicle in a whole is far behind the German community. Not saying that I dont enjoy my V1, but I don't think the luxury side of it is very luxury at all.

Im on H&R and its FINE. But then again my last two cars were lowered on Tien Coilovers. So im used to taking bumps slowly and a little more bumps making it into the cabin.

Will soon mighty... I'm on the fence right now if I want to do the GC coilovers or the H&R springs... Honestly don't want to go too low with vehicle I'm back would like to leave a very minimal gap above rear tire. What's your opinion on GC's? & thanks for meeting me for the kit the other night! Your cars are even better looking in person

h&r is lower than eibach from what ive seen on here
there are some 'show your lowered v' threads on here you could pick through
off the top of my head im not sure if ives seen a gc/mm combo but if its adjustable i would imagine you could set it up to be higher than eibach, or lower than hr or anywhere in between.. for more money
thanks back at ya.

I have H&R on my car for about 3 weeks now, and i'm going back to OEM springs. It rides like ****, I also put new shocks on it when I switched over to the new springs. My front tires also hit, and had to have the front fenders rolled, but not before it pulled my passenger inner fender lip down and have to have both sides painted now after the damage. It will be about $500 out of pocket for rolling and body work on passenger side and painting the fenders. Oh well, lesson learned, but I also live in Utah and have shittiest roads possible.
