RE: eibachs with boge progas: any BTDT?

[Ewan Hopkins <Ewan.Hopkins@computeraid.co.uk>]

The H&Rs are too low for standard struts... they'd be fine with Bilstein
sports or somethng similar but that's beyond my budget at the moment.  The
progas aren't stiff enough for the amount of travel my H&Rs give - they
bottom out too easily, even with chopped bump-stops, so I'd imagine the
turbogas shocks would be worse.  I'll probably hang-on to the H&Rs on the
offchance that I get some Bilsteins in the future.

My advice would be to stick with the H&R's. :)  If you're set on the
Eibachs,
I think that you'd be happier with the Turbogas all around.  The Progas
are progressive shocks, and are really really stiff when on a lowered car.
The shock is in the 'firm' setting all the time due to the lowering.
