What are the firmest euro springs that I can source from Audi of Germany?
I have a friend in Bonn, Germany who is willing to buy me a set of springs from Audi in Germany. What are the firmest springs available from Audi? Are the S6 euro springs (the stock set for europe only) firmer than the S6 plus springs? I noticed on ETKA that there are several different color codes and part numbers for both models. Does anyone have the spring rate break down for the various color codes? I am tired of my H&Rs and what to go for the firmest Audi supplied ride I can get.

Are you tired of the H&Rs because they are too stiff or not stiff enough?
The euro-spec springs are softer than the H&Rs, but stiffer than US-spec.
According to ETKA;
4A0 411 105 R - front coil spring for vehicles with sport-type running gear, 1 silver 2 violet euro-spec A/C manual gearbox AAN, S6 Plus
4A5 511 115 AG - rear coil spring for vehicles with sport-type running gear, 1 yellow, 3 blue euro-spec AAN and USA 1992, S6 Plus
What's interesting is the rear spring was common to the US-spec 1992, while the front was shared by the S6 plus and the euro-spec S6.
The above combo is available stateside from Europrice for $600

But that said, you can try Eibach or H&R. They both make springs for Audis.
PS: I absolutely no idea what "DBA-8VCXS" means and don't have any desire to try figure it out. You might have just said A3 coupe or A3 sedan, etc.
