Hi all!
I'm considering lowering my S3 with magride (magnetic ride) and after searching through all the old threads (and I mean all) I only found very few before/after images of the different setups. So, it could be of great help if people would upload some images of their car with magride, their experience of the specific setup as well as what springs they chose and why? A lot of the members mentioned below have been running their setup for some time so it could be nice with some long term experience.
Furthermore it could be great if someone could post the part no. for the Eibach Sportline springs for the sportback? Several fancy this setup, especially after calibration of the magride, but the Sportlines doesn't come up on the Eibach configurator for the S3 only the Pro-Kit - which I know @-Ju- @jungle650 are running. Is the ride comfort the only difference between the Sportlines and the Pro-Kit? (EDIT found a very useful answer to this here: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/rs3-lowering-options.348125/page-2#post-3258240)
Iv'e also been looking on the ED springs since they're linear and not progressive and a lot of people in the States have very good experience with this setup. But they may only be for the saloon and furthermore be hard to get to Europe without paying a lot of import taxes.
Just tagging some of the people I know have experience with this, hope it's okay @Rob2k68 @DJAlix @Forbzeeee @batch @sjbarneS3 @-Ju- @jungle650

There's a lot info here already but not that many pictures: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/magride-vcds.273828/
