<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6979/abtbilstein.jpg"></center><p>Mods that I have done:
-ABT sport suspension with Bilstein adjustable perch dampers
-Hella black tail lights
-Winter tires are Mich. Alpine's on Pie Plates (shown)
-Summer tires Cont. Sports on 5 Spoke Polished A8 wheels.
-Manual sunshade
-Winter mats, (They are great...)
-Splash Guards mounted for winter. Front only. (Yes, they rub, but so what, they are effective for this time of year.)
-StoneGard deluxe, with custom placement on front and rear fender flares, mirrors, pillars etc.
I have over 8000 miles and have had not one warranty claim. I fixed the headliner buzz, thanks to this board, by the 1/2" rubber hose method. Thanks to whoever the author was. My radio has drifted only once or twice. The abt springs are stiffer than I would normally like, but does the car ever handle. No brake dive, no front end rise on hard accel. and corners flatter than cow crap. I have been fortunate enough to drive cars with low clearance and since I am the only driver, I have not hit anything, (yet).

Mike: Could you provide part nos. for the ABT sport springs and Bilsteins. I'm having a hard time finding aftermarket supsension parts for my 4.2. Thanks.

Use the "links" at the top of the page, then go to "parts/accessories", and then to "AMS". Once on their site, go to "AUDI" and "suspensions". It's the ABT/Bilstein sports suspension for the A6 quattro sedan, 1159 kg/axle.

I think it is $1599 (plus shipping) for the kit.

I am sorry, but I did not measure before lowering. It is almost too low, but I have to tell you, it handles really well. It is dampened well, and I have never bottomed out.
