Ah yes, Gaz having the problems with the Eibach rears which saved me a LOAD of hassle 

....What were those problems, please?

[neg]

Mentioned before, the rear height problems when it didnt actually lower the car at all - in fact I think it raised it slightly so gave a dragster look

what set up do you recommend gaz ? yours had the stance spot on imo     cheers 

I ended up going the Eibach coilover route pal so I could get the height just how I wanted it, and it was

Gaz - if your were to do it again which way would you go....

Great question, thats where I'm at now??, yours still looks spot-on, but I've never been in it so can't comment on ride/handling etc, although I'm sure its pretty good.
I was really impressed with Eibach coilovers, reasonably priced, good qualitiy, not to harsh in fact not sure it was any harder than std but deffinately more controlled. Plus you get to set it up just how you like it
There are so many options out there its a mine field, I was looking at the H&R springs and FSD's for the S3, but when I've seen the springs on the S3's the rears a little lower, but thats with std dampers. I'm tempted to go the coilover route again so I don't have the ride height issue again

Well, I for one can also definitely recommend the Eibach coilovers. As Gaz has already said they enhance the control, but don't let the ride suffer. I would go as far to say that the damping is far superior to the standard set up and as a result ruts and undulations in the road are smoothed out more successfully.

Gaz - you'll have to try it a the next meet

Will do pal
