I've only ever had H&Rs previously so can't comment on eibach.

Springs fitted last week on mine and it's sitting nicely now :)

After having the Eibach's on my S3 and the H&R's on my RS3, I'd take the Eibach's out of the 2 choices.

 

The H&R's made the rear too low (looked lower than the front because of the way the arches are cut) and it made the ride awful on the rear, really 'crashy'.

Heard mixed reviews on both of the variants, eibach always seem to get the better reviews on any car there fitted too, it's just ride height and handling which is down to personal preference a suppose, are both kits specifically for the RS3 or are they for the entire a3 range, think that could be the deal maker

81llyh's car looks good with the H&R springs fitted.

Also QST Tuning have H&R springs fitted to their RS3 and report no change in ride quality.

Just realised this thread is in the 8v section so I'll leave slowly via the poor mans 8p door and retract my comments regarding the H&R's....

That would be great, can you also comment on the ride quality from OEM? Cheers.

Reason I asked was having difficulty getting springs for my a45 due to them only having a listing for the pre facelift variant but the only difference with the newer model is the dynamic suspension set up just like the Audi
