    will stock sport suspension make the car handle better ?
    it obviously won't be like after market ones, but how is it compare to the normal ones?
    does it lower the car a little?
    and i'm talking about C5 A6 here...

    thanks.

    What's good match for springs and shocks with good price?

    Hey Mike

    I've never driven in an A6 with the not sport suspension, but I think for a daily driver the stock sprt suspension works very well.

    Sport suspension: 20mm lower, shocks 40% stiffer, springs 30% stiffer, thicker swaybars front and rear.

    I must agree, that if you are going to do all this work, you might as well go aftermarket. The only benefit to stock would be price (used obviously), but getting all of these pieces in descent shape would probably be difficult also.

    Cheers

    Re: OEM sport suspension

    if you want to retain comfort but lower and improve handling some, get Konis FSDs with Eibach springs. If you want firmer, lower top handling get koni yellows and H&R or eibachs for a little softer

    Re: OEM sport suspension

    If you can get oem sport suspension for a little over $100, would it be worth getting it?

    Re: OEM sport suspension

    shocks and springs? Sure... but I would be concerned with mileage on them/wear (Shocks) at that price. Also the car won't be low and still dive/roll a lot. I had the sport suspension on my car. I would personally try to find a used aftermarket setup to get more out of the work you'll be doing. But it is up to you and what you're looking for
