I'm thinking about going the same route as in the original post, B8's with RCE Tarmac springs. My question is this (and I apologize if this has been discussed to death).

Are there any options out there for someone wanting to go stiffer on the spring rates than the option above without having to invest (not only $$ but time) in coilovers. My priorities are a quality suspension which maintains travel and correct geometry (no more than 0.75" drop).

Can any of the available struts (Bilstein, Koni, etc..) provide appropriate damping with a stiffer spring than the Tarmacs? If so, is a spring like that available? Would love to hear some thoughts on this.

Thanks

From what I know, you might find a spring set that's stiffer in the rear, but I don't know of any that even come close in the front.
