HI,

I have a set of bilstein sport shocks on the car already but I'm looking for a drop with some springs. Not sure which H&R sport springs to go with.

I checked with this site and they don't have a recommendation for a Touring since they didn't sell it in NA. So I'm not sure what model would be appropriate.

Another guy offered me a set of 600lbs spring rate Eibachs. Not sure if that would work or not either.

Tried searching the forum but came up dry. Any suggestions from touring owners or examples on your own cars?

Thanks much!

I've got the Eibach Pro kit on my touring - they don't do a Touring specific one, but if you buy the Convertible specific kit the spring rates are about right and you can fine tune the ride heigh at the back by fitting thicker spring pads if it sits a bit too low.
