its official, at 72.5k miles, my non sport front shocks are dead. (68k with Eibach springs)
 
Got the word from the tech. They will be placed in a spot of honor.
I have not a clue what to do now??
ANother set of non sports?

Buick, buick buick, : ))) Non Sports baby!!!!!
 
After all I am Old N Slow, and a craggy old man!!
A stiffer ride may upset my fragile system.

These decisions are never problems, just great opportunities!
 
I've done Bilsteins in the past and liked them, but they can jiggle the fat over coarse roadways.

Baaaah, 68K they just don't make them like they use too! Isn't that what us
 
old folks are suppose to say? ;-) How much are stock shocks anyway? Got to say I really like my H&R coilovers.

Just installed Eibach Pro System....
 
Only have 100 miles on them, but it's quite an improvement over the stock (non-sport) set up. I'll be doing a review with pictures in a week or so (car is lowered ever so nicely). Dramatic improvement of control under hard braking and pavement irregularities. My used PSK arrived today and I'll have that installed on 3/21....more to follow!

I know you will do what's right..take care of that fragile system! ;)

Total cost?
 
If I keep my A6, I'm going to be coming up on new shocks soon, so I'm interested in opinions and cost of different set ups.

GBW 03-10-2005 03:08 PM

About $1,100......parts and labor should be reasonable
 
I used an independent shop, dealer was not interested in using non-Audi parts...I still need to do the four wheel alignment, so add some $ for that. Anybody have an idea what a four wheel alignment goes for at a dealer today?
