Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased new dampers and springs for my S4. I requested to have rear springs, 225 lbs. The order got messed up and I received 275lbs rear springs. Has anyone fit springs of this rate on their Esprit? If not, does anyone feel these spring would not work well on the car. I know the company will eventually send the correct springs...but I have a car show this weekend where I would like to take my car with its new lowered ride height.

Thanks as always for any help.

Hey Jason,

I use 275 in the rear and 325 in the front. For street driving this rate is quite nice. So yes you can use 275 in the rear but you really need to change the front to a higher rate also. I would not go any lower than a 50lb difference between the front and rear.
If you need any Eibach part numbers let me know.
