So a while back I had a rear spring break on my A3 S-Line, and swapped the rear springs only for a pair or Eibach Pro Kit springs to get the car through an MOT, intending to fit the front springs from the kit within a few weeks.
I expected it to handle a bit odd with just the rear Eibach springs fitted, but it felt fine, barely different to stock.
So a few weeks later I have just fitted the front Eibach springs and a pair or Bilstein B4 shocks, new top mounts and dust covers and the handling is odd!!!
It’s definitely more comfortable and forgiving. It seems to sit about stock height, maybe even a bit higher.
Now the steering is vague with less feedback, it no longer feels as planted, a little more body roll. When you pitch in to a corner there a moment of roll and vagueness that’s quite unnerving, before it settles and then does go round ok.
Having changed both the front shocks and springs I don’t know which might be causing this? How have others found the Eibach Pro compared to S-Line?
