Picked up a new 16 A6 3.0T with sport package a few weeks ago and have been doing a lot of suspension research. I don't like the rake with the H&R springs personally which pretty much leaves me with Eibachs. Problem with those is the fact that almost no one seems to be running those on the A6. A7's dont seem to suffer from the forward rake as the rear is a little heavier which evens out the drop. The few threads and photos I found (yes I've been searching for week) show conflicting results. A few look somewhat low, which could just be an optical illusion and the rest looks about the same as the oem sport springs on the car at the moment. I've installed a set of 21" Speedlines I had sitting from the SQ5 and would love to avoid coilovers for the small drop I'm after. One thread made it even more confusing and I can't seem to find at the moment but someone measured their axle to fender height with the Pro-Kit at 14.5" F and 15" R which is exactly where the car sits stock at the moment. [headbang]
Could someone with Eibachs chine in and maybe measure your ride height? I'm running 255/30/21 Michelin PSS which have the exact same outer diameter as the stock 19's and 20's.
Have you also considered the KW HAS (height adjustable springs) as an option. They're just springs but allow you to dial up the height.

It is an option I suppose, just seems like a waste going from 250 to 750-800 to have front sit .5" higher then H&Rs. Pro-Kit seems to have an even drop, it's the amount of drop (if any over stock sport) that's questionable.

Eibach Pro Kit. I'll measure axle to fender for you later.

Check out PKmode he has a 2013 A6 3.0t with Vogtland springs and the drop looks great between Eibach & H&R
