Stock sport shock absorbers and standard springs? Good idea or not?

[DzoNee]

Hey guys,

My Audi has sport suspension and its handling is ok, but at the expense of comfortable ride. Now, I`ve been thinking about replacing the whole suspension system with standard one, but I find it too expensive. My question is, will the situation be any better if I only replace my sport springs with standard ones? And how will that affect the lifetime of my shocks? What do u suggest?

What mileage are you at? Have you had the control arms replaced yet? Reason I mention it is because when I replaced my control arms at 150k it felt like a brand new car again. I'm at 219k now with stock shock absorbers. Tires can actually make a difference too. I miss my old michelin pilot sport all seasons I wore those things down so much that when I got new tires it felt like a much smoother ride. Night and day difference.
