JJ. very good info on the H&R's cup kit, too bad I already got the H&R springs from Tirerack, I'm going to call them if they allow me to return!!!!
So you think the installation cost would be the same???The APR dealer charged me $280.00 to install the springs, so is the cup kit????

if you get a good shock to go with the spring you will be ok.
that is too bad about the delayed info...as the cup kit would be nice.
how much did you pay for the springs and what type are they?
You def. dont want to just replace the springs, so you will need to get some shocks too... maybe you can get the CK and sell someone the H&R springs to avoid the freight cost

well, the H&R springs was $226.00+$13freight. so it costs me another freight charge($13) to send them back. I'm also looking for the H&R cup kit part number for my MKV, because Tirerack needs the part number and order for me, and H&R web page doesn't specifically said MKV has cup kit, but the evolutionsports.com provides the H&R cup kit for MKV, I'm going to call H&R in few minutes.

Either way, just make sure you get a matched set (coils or matching springs/shocks).
I've got my H&R coils ordered up, should go on the car this Friday. I like the fact that I can adjust the height if I need to- get some different wheels/tires with slightly different characteristics or head to the track for the day.
In my experience, coilovers do seem to ride better than a spring/shock combo IMHO.

just talked to H&R, they said the cup kit isn't ready for MKV yet, I have no idea why Evolutionsports.com has the parts, you better call H&R before you place any order from evolutionsports.com.
Meantime, i'm going to call evolutionsports as well and find out what's going on. good luck!

updated news as of today (3-1-06), H&R doesn't have any cup kit for MKV. But the evolutionsports told me that the cup kit for MKV is identical to the Audi's A3, and they'd installed it and fit perfectly, customer even put a 19" wheel with the kit.
More likely I will order the kit from Evo...sports and return the springs back to Tirerack.
