So after long thought I have decided to go with what DutchDoofus has suggested and get the Bilstein Sport Shocks, factory part number: rear BE3 2609 front BE52616 and the Eibach Pro Kit for my Audi A8 D2.
I just want to make sure that this setup is perfectly compatible with my A8. Is there any special that I might need to add to this setup (spacers...etc.) that is needed and/or would make things even better?
Does this setup need any special alignment after installation (camber adjustment)?
Any suggestions from the more experienced?

Thank you!

I have the exact set up. Just install and enjoy.

I believe that I am also about due for new shocks and springs. I have not yet decided whether to lower the car or go strictly OEM. I took a look at the procedure. One needs a spring compressor. Of course, Audi has their own recommended tool. Will any old spring compressor work for the install or is there a list-member-favorite? I have not yet attempted this kind of job.

Perfect! In your opinion and experience how much the handling got better with the Bilstein + Eibach than with the stock suspension? Do you feel any rolling effect when cornering?

I set my mind on this setup because I hope it will improve a lot in ride stability while still keeps the ride comfortable enough and for this I think the Eibach lowers the vehicle to the perfect hight (not too low and not too high) + the Bilstein gas shocks are amazing I heard. I almost leaned towards the KW variant 2 but that is a bit overkill for the streets and the price is too high also. The Bilstein + Eibach setup is just as good (in my opinion) yet half the price.

Another question I have is that did you need any extra parts for the installation or whatever came in the boxes were the only parts that you needed?
