Champion TT lowering springs VS H&Rs

How are the Champion TT lowering springs compared to the H&R springs?

springs are springs really.. and if you can swing it go with coil overs instead. Springs are never a good solution on these cars...

springs on there own are just a cheap way to get a cosmetic result for ride height. The suspension and ride and drive will be worse than stock (but car will look good)
At the very least get a set of PSS9's. Cheapest coilover upgrade that will actually give you the ride height you want (to a degree) and actually improve your stock ride.

So the Pss9's are the least expensive coilover? I assume the install is like any other coilovers?

I had H&R springs before on my TT. The back squaks down so badly under full throttle. Springs are a waste of time. I just installed a set of RUF PSS9's, what a difference! Skip the springs and go for the coilovers.

I have not looked but is it anything odd? My Audi A6 4.2 had a double knuckle upper control arm that was tought to get apart and tougher to get together. I just wondered if there are anything to look out for?
