Default Simple suspension upgrade ideas for a 95 S6?

earlier I posted that I was considering only changing the Shocks to Bilsteen sports, but after reading the posts it seems I should also replace the springs. What are the best springs that wont lower the car significantly and still give me a nice ride with MORE performance? Can I assume without replacing the springs that the money spent on Shocks might be a waste? I feel the ride now is too soft with stock? Where should I order the springs and shocks (Shox.com?). If you are still reading this, what chip is best to boost the low end torque?

I could be mistaken but think I am right when I say that if you do not change the springs, you should go with Bilstein HD, not Bilstein Sports. Sports are shorter (?) to go with a lowered car with shrter springs. HD's are the way to go with stock springs.
People seem to like Shox.com and I think their prices are OK too.
As far as springs are concerned, make sure what you are getting is Wagon-specific, yes they are different from the sedans. If you end up wanting to get Eibachs, be VERY careful, there are still some "wrong" kits out there and not everyone who is selling them knows the differences. There is a good writeup on the differences online somethere, could be Charlie's site or it might be S-cars.org.
