I know Eibach makes springs for our MP5s too, but don't know which ones will better... Anyone?

I'm planning on keeping my factory shocks.

it depends on how much you want to drop your car....decide that first....

the coil overs are adjustable...but would be better off installed on aftermarket struts....

the H&R and the Eibach springs are both good quality product...but they each have differnt drops...figure out how much you want to go...and make the choice...

one diffrence between the H&R and the Eibachs is that the H&R's drop all four corners the same...where as the Eibachs drop the front about 1/4 inch more than the rear. it evens out the ride height all the way around.

we have the Eibachs on our P5 and it sits perfect! check out our post in the vendor forum for our sale :)

yeah...what Tom said!

my personal preference is the Eibach's....I don't have them yet....but they are on the list of mods.....next are the wheel/tires...then the springs....then I am pretty much done....unless that nasty turbo bug gets ahold of me....AND I find a big box of money on the front porch! lol

I don't want to drop my car too much, I mostly want to improve the handling and the looks at the same time.

The coilovers look really nice, but I'm not sure if the factory shocks/struts will be too bad a combination?

How hard is it to install these things anyway?

I believe the way you really want to go is with a set of springs...not the coilovers.....

I guess that depends on your mechanical abilities and experience....

if you will go to the "HOW TO" forum there is a HOW TO INSTALL H&R springs thread.....the process is EXACTLY the same. just a different brand of springs.
