Default Eibach pro-system kit vs. Koni sports kit for my 2.8...

hi all,

I've finally made up my mind to go with spring/shock kit instead of pricy coilover kit.

I'm currently debating between Eibach pro-system kit and Koni sports kit. I didn't get a chance to ride in an A6 with neither of those suspensions, so I really need your inputs on this decision.

As you can see, I have a stock suspension on my 01 2.8 FWD. I know, it's floating like a boat.

Oh, I recently upgraded to hyper silver 18" RS4 replicas with Kumho Ecsta ASX

SO, I know that either suspension kit will give me firmer ride with reduced sway, but in what ways are they different? Anyone experience with Eibach or Koni suspension kit? Do you recommend any other spring/shock kit?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&amp;url=%2Fsuspension%2Fsuspension.jsp %3F%26amp%3Bmake%3DEibach%26amp%3Bmodel%3DPro-System%2BKit%26amp%3Bgroup%3DPro-System%2BKit%26amp%3BautoMake%3DAudi%26amp%3BautoM odel%3DA6%2B2.8L%26amp%3BautoY

Default Go Eibach it is an awesome system with dampers designed for the springs

Anytime you can get a system that are designed together you are miles ahead. Koni didn't work with H&amp;R to design their system. The Eibach system is also using a linear spring vs a progressive rate spring. I had it on my 2.8 and I now have a Koni H&amp;R set up on my 4.2. I liked the Eibach system much better.
