Aftermarket suspension for the S6

[Sanjman]

Has anyone gone with an aftermarket suspension? While the ride is great stock I'm looking for something a little stiffer. How well does or mate with the height adjustment?

EuroCode sway bars and lower the car either with vagcom or cete/h&r module. The combo will provide what you're looking for and allow you to keep your stock air ride for flexibility.

I have also checked and found nothing. If it would be possible I definitely but KW V2 coils on my S7. This air suspension sucks. Lowering and sways help but it's still not close as good my a6 was with KW V2 coils.
Not sure would installing these would help and make air suspension more stiffer

Does anyone really purchase an S6/7 expecting it to handle well? That's not the purpose of this car at all.

Sways, alu kreutz, and transmission inserts will take the stock suspension to a whole different level. But if you're expecting a corner carver, you're in the wrong car.

OP, if you're just looking for some added stiffness, see above.

Panamera also has air suspension and it rides like dream, even the old one. In sport + it goes very stiff, that same thing I would expect from the s7 also, in dynamic it should go stiff because it's dynamic what should offer max sportiness, but it does not.

To which Panamera are you referring? I've had seat time in every model of the Panamera (except the hybrid versions) and I can say with certainty that the standard model handles worse and has shit for power compared to the S6. The Panamera S is in a similar category as an S6 handling-wise but is slower and comes with a 6-figure price tag. The GTS and beyond is when those cars began to handle above the S6. The GTS is over $120k with any options at all. I don't have seat time in an S7 so I don't know how much more roll it has over the S6. I'd imagine not too much but noticeable to an extent.

If you're looking for Panamera GTS/Turbo type handling, you're not going to find it in the S6/7. But you're also paying significantly less money.

Not handling but I would just like to go stiffer in dynamic, nothing else. The Panamera that I was driving was GTS 2014 model. In sport + it was very stiff and didn't have any roll. Just ordered the Eurocode sway bar set, I really hope it helps little bit.

I agree 100% the GTS model was super impressive. Couldn't believe it was on air. I drove it extremely hard around a circuit and it seemed to take everything I threw at it. Very impressed!

Also don't have seat time in the S6/7 with the upgraded sways but watching countless reactions on these forums, they seem to make a massive difference to these cars.

Yes, Panamera GTS handles like a dream, no roll and you can hit every corner very hard. Did the Alu k add some stiffness in the front?

My car is still in Arizona for another 3 days so I have not installed it yet.

Sway bars and the endlinks made a massive difference. Lowering also helped a lot but not as much as sways. Inserts formed gear changes up and drive train feels much more solid. Control arms improved cornering and overall feel of the car and seems to have improved girp a little too into corners but that could just be the better steering feel after having alignment done. AK is going on soon but with just current above mods it has drastically changed how the car handles. Just need my summer tires on to push it a little.

Should have done more research on the suspension I have. Seems like a more advanced system than what I was thinking ---- regular shocks/springs with bags. LOL. Welcome to 2017 and expensive sports cars Sanjman.
