That looks like the perfect ride height I'm looking for do you still have the setup?

Default I HAD them...did springs only as at that time (very early 2000) there were

NO shocks for the car available. Initial ride-height and ride were a vast improvement over the oem non-sport suspension...but it didn't take long for the dampers to go south, and the springs settled quite a bit over (a short) time.

I know Joe (Ming2.7T) STILL has his, so ask him.

Like I said... You CAN do it, but it's not the best idea.

Default I changed the fronts at 75K miles. Still have original rears 78K

will be changing those out sometime soon, , another AW A6 owner was good enough to send me his old rear ones and those will be going onto the car.

Default yep, also couple of pics with the 17" track setup

it seems to be a nice setup for street and track. Course I like that good ol buick ride!! LOL cuz I am Old N Slow. Probably not the ideal setup but it works.
