I have a suspension question. I have an '06 S-Line A4 with factory sport suspension, but I want it to feel even more sporty/aggressive. My other goal is to level out the wheel wells....more like as the 3-series BMW's I see driving around here in snowy Dayton, OH. I just think they look sportier, as they are lower to the ground and the cars look "level".

This morning I spent about 3 hours searching through lots of AZ suspension threads (I promise, so please don't flame me for the thread). My original plan was to purchase the Eibach Pro-System kit with the sport springs and pro-system Dampers. But after my extensive search this a.m., I learned that many of you AZ'ers have installed (and love) the Koni FSD/Eibach sport spring combo. So, now I'm stumped, but pretty close to purchasing the Koni/Eibach combo. But I decided to post the following questions first:

Has anyone tried the Eibach "Pro-System" with Eibach dampers?
For those who swapped out the S-Line sport shocks and are now running the Koni FSD /Eibach combo does your car actually handle better/feel different than the factory sport setup?
Also, will I be able to use my spacers 10F and 15R with either of these?

(Again I apologize for posing the question, but I just couldn't find the answer from my searches. If there is a thread with this info, could someone please share. Appreciate it.)

And, P.S. how do you put space b/w paragraphs on here.

its definately going to make a difference in your handling..some speculation is that some spring/shock combos are as good as some coilovers, all depending on which setup you are running..

i dont know why you would think a suspension setup would interfere with putting spacers on?..you will be fine, unless you are talking about rubbing(i dont think you are going low enough to rub with only 10 and 15mm spacer, a lot of people are running that exact setup)...if you are running stockies you should be fine

go read quattro's FAQ thread about suspensions, you will probably learn quite a bit
