    So I bought new Monroe strut / shocks for all 4 corners & a set of Eibach lowering springs on Mon. Got a call this morning saying that the Eibachs have been Discontinued. Now what do I do? I don't want to go with H&R or any other brand. Anybody know who still stocks these?

    Yep. Lots of vendors show they are in stock but every single 1 tells me the same thing, "they have been discontinued & we can't get them".

    Why didn't you want to get the H&R springs at first? I'm thinking about upgrading the suspension on my wife's Prius.

    I didnt want the H&Rs cause I used a set for my M3 & the ride was very stiff & harsh. I also installed bilstein shocks at the same time.

    I ended up giving in & bought the H&Rs for my Gen2 & then wife wanted to trade it....so the next day we had a new 2012 Gen3. I swapped the Gen2 H&Rs for the Gen3 & i have to say the ride is pretty nice. This is a before:

    I hear ya Sean. How do you like the gen 3 compared to the gen 2? The dash is a little high to me but I like the rest of the gen3.

    I meant you will be dong most of the work while she is on bed rest and you will not be sleeping after the baby comes. So I figured about a year worth of work and no sleep. After that the baby may be old enough to sleep through most of the night. :)
