Default that is very cool!
Was a nice way to unwind after a hard day of installing a H&amp;R coil over kit and Bridgestone WS-50s on my A8Q. The install went ok. The rear spring R&amp;R kinda sux though. I managed to wade through it all. I'm VERY impressed with the stance and I feel that the ride will settle after a few 100 miles. 4 wheel alignment is this Monday at a local Goodyear shop with a very good reputation. New pictures of A8 soon!!! PS got to road test tonight in some nice freezing rain/sleet and snow! Those WS-50's HOOK!!

You're right about the rear springs- a real PITA! Glad you got it done, though!

Audi has a lot to be proud of, and some things to be ashamed of

Default Thanks Paul!
I'll print this and take to alignment shop Monday. Oh and I'm guessing the specs are the same for a 2000?

Default Those are Audi "Sport" Suspension specs
The standard US bound A8 suspension would have different specs. You could not adjust a standard suspension to this specs I believe.
