What does the autobahn springs look like from a side view? I need a new suspension, but I'm not sure what springs to go with. I have a couple 12" subs in the trunk, so I was thinking H&R for their "raked" stance, but then I read about the autobahn front to rear drop on the 98+ 'tours. Any help or opinions? Stock suspension:

from what i hear if you get the autobahn springs you'll get a rake, because for some reason on post-98's you get that 2.25 drop in the front but only the 1.6 in the rear. It was explained earlier in this thread.

I was looking at this as well. But some quick questions (because I'm used to truck suspensions, and lowering them.) Are these prices per corner? Is this a price for a strut and a spring? Do the Eibachs really sag that badly? I'd like the 2.25" drop, but it sounds like a pain.

The posted prices in my first post are the prices per set (all four springs). The price is jsut for springs, Eibach's are a big hit or miss issue but the most common result is a miss of satisfaction. the 2.5 drop isn't too bad if you can get them to mix a pair of springs, but i just went with the 1.6 because the 2.5 is jsut too much for daily driving for me, espicially in michigan.

Thanks for the reply. I have stock struts, and from what I've read it would be better to have lowered struts before putting in those springs. Looks like I'll just buy a kit with everything in it.

Does anyone know if the Koni Spring and Strut Combo Kit comes with springs already mounted? That would save quite a lot of hassle.
