Eibach Pro-Kit/Bilstein HD combo, anybody riding on this?

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I'm running the Eibach Pro kit with Koni's on my 84 8V. they were living on
the bump stops in front so I had to cut the spring seat and add some
material to raise the ride height ~8mm. In other words the ride sucked until
I raised the front a little!
I'll be installing H & R's on my 16V in the next week or so and I'm looking
forward to seeing how they work compared to the Eibachs.
As far as the HD vs. the Sport Bilsteins, I think I've heard they are really
the same except the sport is a little shorter to work with lowering springs.
No personal knowledge, just what I've heard.
