My Audi is reaching her 100,000 mile mark soon (within 10,000 miles) and I need to replace the shocks. I did some research, but wanted to know what people who have done this before think. I have never had to buy shocks before. ;)

Things you should know (I guess):
I like the sport feel - tight, not mushy
I do mainly freeway driving
I don't need anything super crazy - I don't autocross like I used to - I want something decent, but not crazy expensive

Here are the Fronts I found:

Will I notice the difference between the Bilsteins and the KYBs? Also, KYB fronts...do they only come in 'comfort'? That doesn't sound like a sport suspension...?

Any advice (even for other brands, places to look, etc.) is welcome!

Thanks!

for an OE-replacement, I really like Bilstein HD's. I installed a set on my MIL's TT last month, and the ride is a lot more sporty w/o sacrificing ride quality. If you have OE sport springs, I'd go with the Koni sport shocks, as the Bilstein sports tend to be on the stiff/harsh side (IMO).
