I think it's time to upgrade stock drc.
Was set on koni yellows/h&r but wouldn't mind slightly used coilovers kit.

I have one RS with H&R's, one RS with coilovers and one A6 with H&R's. I prefer the ride of the H&R's on my RS to the coilovers, but I hate the H&R's on my A6.

Do you have the H&R 'race' springs or 'sport' springs from the A6 4.2s on the RS6 ?Originally Posted by 905084

Interesting... all i need is to lower a car a bit and have a somewhat comfy ride.
Has anyone heard of ST coilovers? There is a group buy going on Audizine right now, $750 shipped. Technically they don't make kits for rs6 but its "ok" to use the one from a6, i would assume its the same idea as people use koni/h&r from a6 v8.
part of the email:
"they only make for the A6Q but according to their bills of materials they use the same:
Front and rear springs
Rear Shocks
But the Front shocks are the same housings just different compression valves - we are assuming that it is most likely a bit higher power than the standard A6Q"
Any opinions?
The A6 are H&R sports I'm pretty sure (it was a Craigslist deal). I'm not sure about Thing 1 RS but I absolutely love the ride on it. The coilovers on Thing 2 RS are just a little to stiff for the roads around here and my taste.
Race springs would make your car VERY low, i'm sure they are sport. Are they sitting on DRC or aftermarket shocks?
The only thing i don't like about h&r is that rear will be higher than front, i was thinking about eibach instead.
I would love to go with race springs, but after having them on my previous car, i'm afraid i would be changing body parts every year with our road conditions here in IL.
You couldn't pry my KWV3's from me if you tried. So much better than the DRC. As for the ST Coilovers. The ST's are made by KW and are comparable to the KWV1's. If they have the KW lifetime warranty that would be a plus.

As far as i know they don't offer lifetime warranty and are not covered in anti corrosion paint.
The more i read about ST, the more i hear about their stiffness once you go <24".
The A6 4.2 with H&R sports on 19's. Looks great, ride sucks.
Thing 1 on the right has H&R's that I love, Thing 2 on the left has the coilovers that are.....meh.

Can't see a DAMN thing!!!!Thing 1 on the right has H&R's that I love, Thing 2 on the left has the coilovers that are.....meh.
No seriously, can see a thing...
SOLD - 03 RS6 Avus (905355)
Current - 03 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 double cab - the YETI, lifted, winched, snorkeled, lockered, skidded, geared
So thing 1 that you like has h&r springs on DRC ?Thing 1 on the right has H&R's that I love, Thing 2 on the left has the coilovers that are.....meh.
i bought the ST kit and will be installed next week, i've just left my car to my mech for an engine pull and suspension will also be changed, TechGuru has already an ST kit installed, maybe he chips in with some feedback!
Ex.: 2004 Audi RS6 C5 ABT, Milltek non-resonated, 19" RS4 B7 rims, RNS-E - SOLD
2004 AUdi RS6 C5, SE exhaust, RNS-E, 19' original rims - SOLD
Now :2009 Audi RS6 C6 - stock yet pretty fast
Thing 2 lower than Thing 1 and that would affect the ride. No DRC on either one.
Mik15, please do and ask techguru to chime in.
So what shocks do you have an thing 1?
Bump, anyone selling their coilovers?
Given the price of H&R coilovers at 1200 for the set. I would not bother with used. If 1200 is too much then try the ST group buy.
KW V3 ride like a dream but you pay for it.
