Default Eibach/bilstein

I just installed bilstein sport grooved shocks on my 2000 Audi A6 2.7t. I previously had installed prokit springs.

Impressions:
1) All the float is gone, very nice tight handling
2) Ride height set on top perch, no change after bilsteins
3) Ride comfort-Better than expected and actually smoother than the worn out stock shocks on the car

All in all a great combination. Thanks to all the AW members who helped make the choice.

How many miles were stock shocks used with Eibachs. Total miles when you deemed shocks were worn.

I had non sport original shocks. I replaced the springs at about 6k miles, and now the car has 42k miles. The shocks were pretty much gone by 30k though.

Default would you consider the old shocks

extremely "floaty" at high speed (60-90 mph) becasue my 2000 acts the same way. its okay around town but on the highway its extremely sloppy. also has 40,000 miles on it. where'd you ge the sports springs ? thanks !
