Default Why? Just get a set of moderate lowering springs and some Konis or whatnot...

It'll cost less, and do exactly the same thing.

Default All else being equal, I can see the appeal of keeping things pseudo-stock.

Even if the bang for the buck is aftermarket.

I decided to go the bilstein/eibach route instead of the paying the premium S-line, the S-line doesn't even include rear shocks, hard to justify spending more for less. Mr. 2953 had some information about the Quattro GmbH suspension and the Bilstein/Eibach in this link. Seems to be the same...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1126825.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1126825.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default me too, but...

the stock springs and shocks tradeoff too much performance for low cost and comfort. I haven't experienced the s-line getup first hand, but especially seeing as it retains the stock rear shocks, I suspect it's still biased towards cost and comfort.

Konis, some stiffer springs, and harder bushings have totally transformed my car.

Default I just don't want to lower the car too much and all the springs that i have researched seem->

to lower 1.1 to 1.5 inches. And I don't want to mess too much with getting Kmacs or camber adjustment tie bars.
