H&R list same spring applications for both variants of the C5, including the coilovers.<ul><li><a href="http://www.eibach.de/main.inc.php?SPA=1&C_lang=en&LID1=2&LI D2=4&LID3=0&PRODSHOW=&LSTSHOW=1&MO DSHOW=&hersteller=Audi&prodart=Pro-Kit&modell=A6&modellName=A6">http://www.eibach.de/main.inc.ph

I can't believe that is accurate at their site.

The 4.2 has it wheels pushed farther to the edge, as if you ran spacers on a 2.7t. Also the 4.2 is a heavier car.

The additional weight, plus the increased force of the leverage on each corner due to the wheels being farther out would make for the need of additional spring loads.

Unless they changed the pivot points and angle geometry of the 4.2 to 2.7t to compensate and reduce the leverage to result in an equal axle load, I dont see how this can be possible. Its like saying the 200 lb guys weighs the same as a 180 lb guy.

H&R uses the same springs for both models as well, including coilovers; FWIW.
