NOT the stiffness of the Eibach and Bilsteen Sports . I have a 95 S6 Avant and feel the Boge Turbo gas are ok but car still cant corner as fast as I would like. I heard there was a sport package in Europe? Sport Euro springs?

Default I have them on my avant

I'm actually going to replace them with H&R springs to lower the car a little.

The ride is definitely stiffer than stock. The springs lower the car approx. 20mm.

When I finally buy some H&R springs, would you be interested in my euro sport springs?

Default You can add spacers to increase ride height

These may have to be custom fabricated but would work with aftermarket springs

Default Are yours the Euro Sport or the S6+ version?

I believe they are different. If they are the S6+ ones they have a pretty strong front rate to compensate for the S6+'s V8. It's not necessarily a problem assuming your shocks are matched to the springs, but I don't think they are the same springs. (I have a set of S6+ Avant springs in my garage gathering dust and they have one more purple stripe on them than the Euro Sports do if I am not mistaken)

Default They are Euro Sport.

At least that is what the previous owner told me. How can you tell using the purple stripes?

Default I use Euro Sport Springs and Bilstein Shocks.

The ride is just fine and the height is not much different than stock. I'd give you the numbers but the post I did earlier where I listed all the suspension heights was deleted by list moderator.

Default My avant

have them (with sachs advantage shocks that suck).
They lower the car 20 mm and are a little stiffer than stock springs. There is still plenty of body roll :-(
You should consider a stiffer rear anti sway bar before changing springs.

Let me know if you sell them? Sounds like ride height is as low as the H&R's?
