Default My new wheels! Still need spring help

Sorry to keep posting about the same thing but threads go off the page.

Does anyone have experience with H&R sport springs on an A6 4.2.(not the coilovers)

I cant get my local audi dealer to order or even look up pricing on stock springs for a sport 4.2.
They dont seem to know what is involved in the changeover or if its possible.

No spring advice here, but nice wheels. That car screams out for the smoked tail lights.

Default I did the Eibach Pro Kit (2.7T) at my dealer for $725 installed. Night and day handling....

I didn't have to change my shocks either as the Pro Kit drops the car and stiffens the spring rates under 20%. Eibachs Rock and my warranty is intact.

Default are you trying to go softer or stiffer?

I think the H&R springs will be stiffer than the Audi sport package - a guess based on the greater drop compared to stock sport. I don't recall if you were the fellow trying to make the ride less harsh - if you are I would not look at the H&R sport springs.
