I'm the new owner of a 02 A6 4.2 with all the options including sport suspention. I really like the way the car handels, but I would like to try and smoothen out the ride a bit. The car has 41k miles on it and I'm not sure the shocks have been replaced so it posable that the stock shocks are getting toward the end of their life. However, I'd like to replace them with something that might be alittle lest "sport" and a bit more comfy. Has anyone gone this route and got a good result or have suggestions on what shock might fit this bill? Maybe something that has an adjustment to stiffen or loosen up the ride. What I want to get away from is a "boat" like ride. Just something soften up the road a bit.

Thanks for any advice you might have.

 

Hmmm now i've never heard anyone want to go softer! Most aftermarket springs/shocks will be more rigid than what you have. I guess your only option is to buy the factory non-sport suspension.

 

I knew this might be an odd request among all you motor heads!

 

I've been doing some looking and it seams like these might be the ticket?

They sound like they inprove both ability and ride comfort? Has anyone gone from the stock sport shocks to these? How did it change?

 

Yea i would go with the normal non-sport suspension if you want a really soft ride. Non-sport is really smooth and comfortable compared to the aftermarket and the audi sport suspension.
