You'll need to buy/borrow some spring compressors to remove the rear coil springs...
They can be a PITA to get out. The trick is to use a compressor that you trust and which you don't mind being rough with - even with the spring compressed, you'll need to pull hard to slip it out. I've removed two sets of rear coil springs from the B6. The second set was a lot easier because I had more guts to yank hard on the spring using the tool and equipment I had.

I'll call AWE, they're only about 1.5 hours from...
I'll see if they will install parts that are not purchased through them, what kind of price range I'd be looking at. I would not know who else to trust with my A4. I don't think I'd feel comfortable having a regular shock/strut place install them.

Nah, not making it sound that bad, but I did have H&R COs for 2+ yrs...
on my old 2.7T. So, compared to an OEM sport suspension or Eibach Pro-System (which I eventually swapped it out for and sold the COs to another AW member)...yes, H&Rs are more stiff, but liveable to those that prefer it.
