Re: Anyone have Eibach sportline's? What about Intrax spring's?

[John Erk <john.erk@sympatico.ca>]

I would say Eibach spings are good. I had them put on at GTA Performance in '95.They
had a good deal on Hor springs with the Boge Progas at the time, but then he couldn't
get the Hors (from Autotech) so he gave me Eibachs for the same price(a much better
spring ).I think the Boge Progas shocks are the weak point in my setup, although they
are affordable. I would like to drive a scirocco with H&Rs to see the difference. I
love my setup at higher speeds even on rouch roads, but at slow speed on rough
Montreal roads( well you know our roads suck), they are a little harsh.
