Bilstein/Eiback combo

You can't beat the como.
Over all drop is about 40mm. Ride is pleasant but not mushy. Firm but not harsh. Handleing is very good with body roll under controll. I got my set from R&D enterprises. Total cost was $710.00 including shipping.
Be prepared to pay a hefty amount to whomever installs it. Audi Service manual calls for 8 hours of labor not including the allignment.
My dealer did the work before I took delivery of the car. Total bill was $475.00 including the allignment.

That's pretty cheap labor for a dealer; mine charged $800.

I think you got panned. What were their rates per hour. I looked at the manual myself and it quotes 8 hours. I would inquire.....

$99 per hour (more)...

I got a quote from an alignment shop of $650, but it sounded like an uneducated guess; probably would have been more. I decided I'd rather have the dealer do it. I've since learned my lesson and found an Audi shop (Revsport in CO Springs). They'll remove/adjust/reinstall my Konis for about $300. I'll take it to them from now on.
