I had Eibach on my old 1980 Scirocco S -  I was VERY
unhappy with them. Perhaps the complete kits are
better than the springs alone - but my experience is
with the springs alone. The ride was extremely harsh.
Brutal. 

I've been driving on H&R in my '82 (daily driver) for
several years, and I am extremely happy with them.
When I complete the restore on my '81, it will ride on
H&R.
