Eibach vs H&R vs HKS

I got my Swift springs from @Meraki Autoworks and I can't wait to get them installed. Also, shout out to them for excellent customer service.

Let me know if you experience any noises from the suspension after the install. I installed the Swift springs a couple of weeks ago and I'm hearing clunking sounds from the front suspension driving over small bumps. It may be an issue with the bump stops or the top coils hitting each other.

Who did the install? Did they cut the bump stops? the coils should have already come with sound insulators

I haven't had any issues or noises with my Swift installation.

Do any of these spring kits improve performance handling between comfort and sport. Also are these good choices for weekend track days and daily driving compared to factory springs??

Has anyone been able to fit a 305/35/19 rear with Eibach springs? I know it's possible with H&R

One more data point on H&R. Installed this past week. No change in ride quality in either comfort/sport modes but we discovered I still had the shipping spacers on my front suspension so not sure how much that changes the equation. No noise whatsoever going over bumps. I'd say it lowered more than the advertised 1.0" inch in front. Overall, very pleased.

I have a pair of Eibach on order. Estimated to arrive in a few weeks and hopefully worth the wait. I like the quality and included bumpstops, rather than cutting the OE ones.

I’m running on eibachs and I really like’m. I also have a set of swifts on order from our friends @meraki autowerks. Hopefully those will be here soon for my other A91.

For people curious about ride height for different springs (like me), I put together the below table:

Spring	Front	Rear
Eibach (Euro-Spec)	0.8"	0.8"
H&R	1.0"	0.75"
Swift	1.2"	1.2"
Tein S-Tech	1.2"	1.0"
HKS (Adjustable)	1.4"	1.0"
Eibach (US-Spec)	1.7"	1.2"

Do you have spring rates also? And stocks

Thank you! Do you also have h&r?

No problem! Unfortunately I do not. However I've read they're quite mild so I'd liken them to the Eibach springs

+1 for HKS. I’m 2 weeks in trying to trouble shoot noise only on the drive front. Everything is perfectly tightened down to spec, but there is a rattling noise. After reading through here, maybe I did not cut off enough of the yellow bump stop? That’s literally the only thing I can think of.

Noise aside. Just a bit stiffer ride which is great and feeling more planted around turns.

I saw there is a difference between Eibach UK an US, right?
