Eibach pics

My '08 A6 - Got the Eibachs installed with OEM shocks, so here are some initial shots. Pardon the dirty car and gray skies!

Thanks. The average person would never be able to tell any difference in ride quality. However, I think it's slightly softer on flat roads - which some might call "bouncy". The original springs seem to be a bit firmer when not compressed with no resistance.
But after driving for a couple of days, you get used to it and hard to tell. I haven't yet driven it hard enough to notice handling improvements.
Definitely worth the huge difference in stance and appearance. The wheels appear larger and you feel more planted to the road.

Pierre - Call me a perfectionist (or ****), but it seems there is a few millimeters difference in height between a couple of the corners with the new springs. Is the car's weight not distributed evenly left to right, which could cause a slight difference? Or is there anything in the installation/misfitment of springs that can affect height?
Thanks-

I'm in north Jersey (Chatham). Let me know if you're interested in doing a back and forth comparo.

You mentioned you thought the suspension is a little softer now with the Eibachs. That sounds perfect. I'm looking to lower my 2005 A6 S-line but I find the stock suspension stiff.
