<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/71573/s6.jpg"></center><p>very happy with the look, ride and handling. Ride height was set at 25.5" rear and 25" front. After a weekend of hard driving with the local Audi group the CO's settled a bit and need to be re-adjusted. One concearn is the rear CO's squeak. It sounds like a rubber squeek. These CO's were used for about 4 months then they were sold and have been sitting for about a year in the box. Does anyone else with H&amp;R's have this issue? I'm planning on spraying with silicone or something. Any other recommendations? Also after driving with the H-sports, which are great by the way, I'm thinking I am going to replace the H sport front bar with the stock bar. The car really understeers with the H-sport front bar.

Default Yes. It seemed to push more through coners. Especially after breaking into...

a corner and then punching it through the apex it didn't seem to hook up as well. Now this is my first time driving the S6 hard and with sway's so maybe it's just me getting used to the car.

are you sure the H-sports were installed correctly? and you should paint match the side moldings.
