Default Lowered the A6

Well, I took note of all of your opinions on this site for lowering suspensions and finally decided on the Eibach Pro-kit w/ Bilstein Sports. I had the install done last week and I am extremely impressed.
Car sits lower by 1.4"F, 1.3"R but visually I swear it looks like the A6 has been stretched to an A6L. There is very little fenderwell gap on top of the stock 16's. I guess visually the tinted windows and the silver paint help that look as well. Ride is firm but not jarring at all.
I highly recommend this combo on your A6 if you do most of your driving on the street (vs. track)!!! I'll try to get some pics posted soon.

I managed to get a couple of pics up tonight but it was raining hard outside so I had to do from inside the garage... I'll try to get a couple more pics this week when the car is outside because these pics don't really do it justice

Thanks guys !!!
I'll try to take new pics when I can.

Blue2.7 - I had considered the H&R springs and I hear great things about them. I was nervous that the Eibach's would not make enough of difference but after the install I am glad I went this route. IMO, I think the H&Rs are going to drop the A6 too much (1.75") and cause too much neg. camber (therefore, control arm and front tire wear) - but again, that's just my opinion. I highly recommend you get aftermarket sport struts because you will eventually blow out the OEM struts.
I don't have any performance intake but I do like the whistling sound of the turbos I still need to do the TBB and aftermarket DV's and the K&N air filter. After that, possibly a more open after-cat exhaust..
