Suspension changes to S6 Avant
Has anyone made any modifications to their S6 Avant suspension? Finman, Brian-MA, others? While I find the car to be excellent overall, the suspension is a bit soft in aggressive cornering, promoting a bit too much body roll that I think it should.
Thanks for the advice.

Compared to the 4.2, the S6 is perfectly flat in the corners to me...
so if a car is going to get modded it will be the 4.2. The S6 feels almost perfect to me...every car could be flatter in the corners and this 4000 pound wagon is no exception, but I guess compared to what I am used to, this thing is nearly perfect.
If I had money coming out my ***, I might consider changing a few things...but I am a poor public servant living off the government teet and putting my life on the line everyday to keep you all safe...I can't be messin' 'round with no suspension modifications...I got a country to serve!

You may be able to improve body roll with anti-roll bars like the S4..
I would like to slightly lower my S6 to close up the wheel gap but retain the stock ride quality.
A very difficult task since the car is so well balanced.
Sportec makes a suspension for the S6 Avant,
but I have not heard any feedback on that setup.
I find the stock suspension just right for me and my passengers.

No, I agree with Finman. It feels very flat in the corners I take.
I do not plan on taking the car to the track, unless it's to take an Audi driving school. This car handles sooo much better than the allroad that I traded in. You want soft? Try the allroad.

I'm very satisfied with the S6 suspension. Rebound? Do you mean unloading the suspension coming
out of the corner or are you focussing on how the suspension handles unexpected surface bumps in the curve when compressed?

I'm happy with the stock setup, could maybe be a bit lower,but...
overall, am able to corner a speeds close to thase in my 2000 modded Corvette, on a corner by corner basis. I believe it was Goodwoody who had put coil-overs on and went back to either stock or Eibach.

That was me, I did K&M? coilovers and absolutely hated the ride
Took the ***** back off the next day. The ride is perfect for me in stock config. I won't even mess with the wheel size. It's perfect the way it is. why mess with perfection? If you want it to handle like a sportscar, get....a SPORTSCAR duuude!
