Yesturday I drove with out friends, and they got a seasick on the back seat of my car. I guess I better upgrade suspention. What are the differences in A6 suspention vs S6 (springs, shocks, swaybars, bushings)?

I can just replace springs and maybe shocks or I also should replace sway bar/bushings?

And of cause the standard question: where can I get springs?

I know this is a big chapter of tuning, which I basically ignored, so no I need so info. Thanks.

I have 96 Wagon qattro.<ul><li><a href="http://www.netwiz.net/~jds/files/a6_links.html#suspension">this is what I found so far.</a></li></ul>

...shocks if you're going to go with the OEM shock. If you are going to upgrade to a sport shock then it's a good idea to change the springs as well.

The bushings/swaybars aren't really necessary. The only reason to change them would be if you tend to autocross the car a lot.

Don't know about the differences between the A6 and S6 supensions....I'll let someone else handle that.

Do the mounts at the same time. It's a no brainer i beleive, the greens are the best from what i've heard.

Since the front end will be apart , kill two birds at the same time.
