Hmmm 45mm sounds tempting. Wonder at what price point these will come in at? Anyone had these type of springs before?

still rather have the VWR ones, at least they acknowledge the existance of ACC in their description. There are loads of H&R reviews knocking around, usually considered to be on par or slightly worse than Eibach, have a google

Although my other alternative is to wait for the Eibach sportline springs (had them on the VXR and was pleased with them)

IMO the Eibach pro kit doesn't lower the car enough to please my eyes!

I have been looking in etka: The exact same part number for springs are used in ACC cars and non-ACC cars so it must not make a difference.

You buy what you like but when I see the words 'Not for cars with suspension levelling control or four wheel drive' I start to be a little cautious in what I am buying.

But ACC does not change the suspension level?

do the dampers not change the level of travel in the springs?

And why are there two part numbers for the same springs if it makes no difference?
