Default Got my "OEM sport suspension" from DADS, bilsteins & eibachs!

hope they're the eibach pro springs and nothing lower. I called them looking for a 2.7T oem sport setup, they told me they had some bilsteins on OEM springs so I said I'd take them. The guy in the yard called me back & said he couldn't find them, but he'd send me an OEM setup (same price), well today they arrived & I see yellow bilsteins & made out a faint eibach label on the springs....

will post pics in a week or 2

Default Do your research on the Bilsteins....I pulled my off when I purchased the car

they were just too stiff with the OEM sport springs. I actually felt my Eibach Pro-System rode better (on my first A6) than those Bilsteins....think they lasted 3 weeks, went with OEM sport shocks

Default Maybe....the Bilsteins failed the wife test...OEM sport have been fine

on a smooth road the Bilsteins were fabulous, but anything less than perfect they were quite harsh. Make sure you have the right springs, you don't want something that came off an avant or something.... I'd rather have the same shock on all four corners....not sure you did yourself a favor here, but good luck
