While I'm in there...
Time to put Koni's on the rear. The front has them. I got the fronts for free from a shop owner I know. Not sure of the history but they're tight. Now I want rears to match. The Boges were new but not as stiff and the car felt a bit odd. The springs are aftermarket parts. I've never figured them out exactly but I think they're 1st generation Eibachs and are single rate. I've tested them, informally, against stock springs and they're stiffer with thicker coils.
The long-term plan is to go with a 2.5" "Hypercoil" set-up. My other car has that. The assortment of available springs is huge so I'll be able to tune it as I want. For now I'm going with the stiffer springs and Koni shocks. I tracked my 1st car for years like that. I've penciled in the change to Hypercoils when I put in the S4 upper arms.
