    Did you consider the springs specified for the S6 instead of the A6? They lower the front & rear more evenly.

    Yes, once is plenty for me too. The problem with using springs from another model, it could cause problems. Each model could be engineered for a different purpose. An example, The same rear H&R springs change the ride height differently from the RS6 & the RS6 Avant.

    I replace mine just with H & R recommendation for RS6 straight, and I did in 09' the DRC recall shocks replacement. I my opinion, it looks a bit higher in the back, but by the same token, what if you go out with your love one and another couple of friends, Don't you think the weight is going to affect the height?, besides that, I like it the way it ends up. Let me know your opinion. My e-mails are csiace@wi.rr.com and Rhino315RS6@gmail.com Thanks.

    S6 setup does not have Race option. and they come in Avant only, so if you'll install them rear will sit higher.
    Street setup for RS6 drives nicely but I dont like the rear look, it sits too high. By the way I have them for sale, if someone interested. I had to cut the rear springs one coil for the look. So only front springs are ok.
