I have an virtually fully loaded '05 3.2 with stock suspension. I want to upgrade the suspension, but am having a hard time figuring out what I want to do. I am thinking eibach springs, koni FSDs and h&r rear bar. But, this is my wife's primary driver and I don't want to put it too low. Any suggestions? Anyone have an S-Line setup for sale? TIA.

FYI - Eibachs drop 2 inches. I have them and i think it's a perfect look to fill the wheel well.

What do the Eibach's run for? Any pics of your car? Thnxs

Correction.... Eibach's only drop 1.6, H&R's drop 1.5. both front and rear are the same drop. i looked into this before i bought.

Yes, Eibach advertises 1.6, but a few people that have them in have confirmed as well- exactly 2 inches. Someone should probably let Eibach know, as I dont know anyone with Eibachs on an A6 that only dropped 1.6.

What did you get on yours? Have you measured the exact drop?

I think they're around $250. Here's a quick iPhone pic. I'll post better ones later.. Again, it was a 2in drop and most H&R pics I've seen appear even lower, especially the rear.

Thanks, Pierre. 4 hours sounds about right. The shop said the rears were especially difficult on this car.

check my pic post have a couple more pics with eibachs, and it does seem to drop it more than 1.6" as advertised.

H&R drops it more than that, I think it was 2 inches on their website when I was shopping around. definitely more than the eibachs. I didn't want too stiff of ride so I didn't go with them. I'm very happy with the eibach's ride quality.
