Found a set of Vogtland Coilovers for $1,092, origionally $1,550. The H&R Coilovers are $1,215 down from $1480. I know nothing about coilovers, so any information would be appreciated. Thanks

the B5 guys seem to really rave about the Vogtland coilovers for their cars.
Price difference is only $133, several people here will comment positively on the H&R's.

I do not know how the Vogtland c-os are for the A6, but I have several years worth of driving, track, and auto-cross time on the H&Rs. No problems with them after 5 years of use.
The H&Rs are very good for every-day driving, with and without full loads. Aggressive street driving, like canyon-carving, or simple auto-crosses are easily handled, but aggressive track driving and harder high-speed auto-crosses are getting out of their performance range.
As I said earlier, it really depends on what you are expecting from going to coil-overs. The best are the STaSIS motorsports, but this is a case of the best are the most expensive.
The B5 S4 guys might give you more info, but also ask them what they were after when they bought them.

for a lot less than coil-overs. Comfortable/slightly sportier ride with a "good-looking" drop. Should easily pass the "significant other" test.

I say try'em. Save the cost difference as the differences are probably very little. Also you get to try a new product and share with us the experience.
