Default I am not aware of an Eibach coilover kit for the A6 application...
there is the pro-kit, but those are not height adjusatable. I think Eibach makes the coilovers for the A4/S4.

Default Maybe Eibach springs on a threaded strut (ie: coilover)?
Springs are, generally speaking, springs. What matters is the rate. If you can beat the rate values out of Eibach, H&R, etc...you could then compare.

Default I have been using the Eibach springs w/ Koni shocks for the best 3 years..
and am very happy with this application. I don't believe Eibach makes coilovers.
