my experience, dealer.
And they cost a mint. Why do you need them? I'm told the OEM stuff goes 150k. Strange but true.
Before I paid the dealer $1500 for parts I'd look seriously at the Bilstein kit

have 97K on stock S6 and thought new shocks are in order....
Just got new Koni sports on my a4 avant (125k on factory sport shocks) and they felt so good. I figured the S6 is pretty heavy and would respond similiarly to a new oem style shock upgrade. THe reason I want SACHS is that I have found no other specific application for the S6 in the shock category since the suspension is a lot different than all A6 models.

replace the upper shock mounts....cheap insurance relative to labor and
shock replacement if the upper shock goes and you have to destroy a shock to get it out.
