OK, I have to admit it ... I'm vain. I'm thinking about putting Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my 2001 A6 4.2 which has stock non-sport suspension. I must admit that it is for looks only in order to shrink the wheel well gap. I'm not a super aggressive driver (though I do like some fun here and there) and I never take the car on the track, but I'm wondering if the combination of sport springs and non-sport shocks and sway bars would lead to a safety problem in the event of high speed evasive maneuvers on the highway to avoid an accident or when taking a hard corner. In short is the current setup safer that sport springs and stock shocks/sway bars? I don't want to do something stupid and endanger myself for the sake of good looks and I don't have the $$$ to upgrade the whole setup.

this will cause the shocks to fail soon after you put the springs on. i'd wait and do the shocks and springs together.
