My personal experience with Eibach on a Mk1 Scirocco
is that they are way too harsh (unless you like that).
IMHO they screwed up the rates for A1 cars.
I now drive on H&R springs and I LOVE them.
I have heard nothing but good about Neuspeed (H&R used
to make their springs).
This is on a daily driver and I do not autocross.
