Default Looking for Sport suspension for A6 2.8
Hi folks,

I've got a high mileage 2000 2.8 and am looking to replace the current shocks with something that's got less mileage and a bit more sporty. Does anyone have something used that they want to get rid of for a nominal fee...I'd be paying for the shipping.

Cheers

Default Re: I have a set of Eibach pro springs that just came out of my 4.2 A6 that will fit
Great...just contact me at raj _ mann at hotmail dot com and let me know what youwould be looking for on the springs. BTW, do you know how much they would lower the ride, if it all?

Thanks,

Raj

Default Are you sure about that?
At the very least the settings are wrong and the fronts will be firmer based on the weight of the 4.2 vs the 2.8.

Default Not so sure about that. Much heavier, and I don't believe the sway bars are compatible. Check the
archives or the flames you will likely get very soon.

With the heavier spring rate, you'll likely wind up looking like an Allroad.

Default Don't want to look like an Allroad...so anybdy have a straight 2.8 or 2.7 swap?
No offence to allroad owners, but that's not the look I want for the A6.
