Um, I don't believe the H&R springs give a more stiff ride than the Eibach's...I just know that the Eibach springs give a more conservative drop (1 inch front, 0.8 inch rear) than the H&R's. Otherwise, both are leading brands in the market so quality-wise, can't go wrong with either.

 

Thanks, im just going off what i am reading on here, i would like a little more of a drop than 1 inch so maybe the H&R springs are the way to go. But i have also read the back of the S5 Cabs sink lower than the fronts so that is another thing i am worried about.

 

Eibach's compare to the H&R OE spring...not sport. The OE's ride great and will drop your car nicely. The OE's drop 1" and retain a nice ride and the H&R sports drop about 1.3" and do firm up the ride. Can get you pics of this spring on an S5 if you like.

 

Thanks Mopsta, I'd really appreciate the pics and if you have the Link to where i can buy the OE's? I was on H&R's site and did not seem them.

Thanks again!

 

Yes Sir!

You can pick them up from achtuning...awetuning...bkstuning and many others. Google shopping should pick up several.

 

Thanks So much man, Very appreciated!!

 

i've just had the Eibach's fitted to my 3.0TDI today, 25mm front 20mm rear, looks great and ride seems almost unchanged..

 

Love this shot and the drop looks spot on for what I'm looking for. Spacers finish it off perfectly too. Nice job!

 

that looks perfect.

and im in the process of having H&R OE 25mm fitted, and 20/25 spacers- so hopefully my s5 will sit like that this weekend when they're fitted.

 

Hey Work Permit, Which Springs did you go with for your White S5? Also Which spacers did you use?

Looks Sick!!! Thanks

 

Joe, that car belongs to "ecrew16" or Chris from the link I posted. He was running H&R 20/25 on OE's.

 

My bad Mopsta, Like i said im new on here and dont know my way around at all. I have a bunch of things in line for my Convertable S5 but dont even know how to post pics on here :-/

Thanks for all the info though guys

 

Hope this doesnt sounds foolish, But why does everyone put spacers on there wheels? Wouldnt that stick the tires out and give more of a chance for the wheels to rub on the wheel well?

 

Scot, give them a few days and it will sit just as the white car does. Make sure and align after a few days.
Joe, spacers are used to give the car a more aggressive look. They are safe and will not rub at all with OE's and 20/25. May rub if you go really low or coilovers but not these setups.
Joe, to post pics...add them to say photobucket then copy the "direct link" from PB then simply paste into the image icon above. Remove the http:// first.

 

yeh, i will have the ride setup afterwords, my mate works a a tyre fitter, so laser allignment is free, and usually done once a month on my track car, and my run around. and it helps me get tyres at trade price although I've not priced some replacement Vreidsteins yet :/

ps, Jamie- not Scot- confusing i know haha

J.

 

You guys might enjoy this...some really nice vids and pics by Chris
Video posts 26, 28, 51, 55 are on OE's with 20/25.

Seriously, if all you want to do is to lower the car please consider KW's adjustable lowering springs. You can dial it in as you please. I have them on my 2012 S5 cab and love them.

 

heres mine with lousy iphone shots.

20 inch Audi wheels with H&R OE springs & H&R 15mm spacers

 

Sepang, your car looks amazing. Stance is great. Lousy pics?... what you got...iphone11?

 

LOL ! I think i can do better with a normal camera , yeah this was taken with a iphone 4

Blackfox: On 20's the ride is suprisingly pretty much the same compared to stock , i would say a little bumpier thats it.

 

Nice setup and stance Sepang. I just ordered some 20" wheels and the H&R OE springs/spacers and was curious to see what it look like. Clean.

How's the ride?

 

I am running H&R OE springs and find the ride to be just fine. In retropect I would have gone for the Eibachs because more of a raised rear stance

 

^Pull the spare I did.

 

anyone heard about ibox springs??
thanks

 

This is with Eibachs and 19 inch BBSs

The angle is not the best possible, but I think you get the idea.

 

Btw, put the Eibach sway bar on as well and it goes now like a go-cart))

 

One more point. After you change the springs, it takes about a week for the car to drop to the final level.

When I first saw mine after the change, I though "wattahell", because the front seemed to be HIGHER than the rear, like a car with a fully loaded trunk. Then, within a week, gravity and the heavy V8 did the job))

 

Petr ..... Pix for yr ride please....
