Default Availability of Eibach springs...more

I've been on hold for a while now with my wheel and tire upgrade while they try to track down the Eibach springs for my 2000 A6 2.7T. Eibach appears to be very unresponsive (and disorganized?). Has anyone else experienced problems in getting the springs? Is there a shortage? This waiting around is really starting to wear on me.

Default Try Clair parts

They price at about $280. Check the box when it arrives to make sure you have the springs for the quattro version - I got shipped the wrong set and wasted some of my dealer's time trying to fit them. Also keep your receipt.

Default The Audi/Eibach springs part # is...

4B4-071-677-DSP. You have to order these thru Audi, not Eibach. There's some sort of promotional/special order they have to use to order them. Good luck, there great!

Default Thanks, but I'm looking for confirmation on Eibach part #1566.140

I am odering directly from Eibach as part of a complete wheel, tire, and suspension upgrade that a performance shop is doing for me on my '00 A6 2.7TQ. I just wanted to confirm the Eibach part number everyone else has finally settled on, since there appeared to be some debate on this forum about the correct part number. The one I have is 1566.140.

Default That's the part # for the A6 Quattro wagon

According to the Eibach Application guide that I have, the correct part # for the A6 quattro sedan (5/97>) is 1562.140.
