Default NEW BILSTEINS FOR THE S6--WHAT SHOULD I WATCH FOR?

Had my S6 a year now & have put on 12,000 miles--that's about half my annual miles.

Really love it. Runs great, put Michelin Pilot Sports on it & really made a difference.

Now at 136K, so I thought I'd better get to the suspension. Needs front lower control arm bushings; rear upper & lower bushings & rear brake hoses.

I am also replacing the shocks & hardware: Strut mounts; strut bearings, dust boots, etc.

Is there anything I should know regarding this project?

Appreciate the advice.

Many thanks,

Tom
