Basically, would it be pointless to upgrade the suspension if you already have the sport suspension? I was questioning the sway bars, does anyone know how thick the stock ones are?

Don't screw with your S-Line suspension. I put the Eibach stuff on mine and it sat lower for sure. The ride deterioted and the front tires bowed out to much for my taste. Save yourself a bunch of money!

Upgrading the sway bars on the A6 is supposed to make a world of difference in handling. That is one of the next mods that I plan on doing. As for the suspension, it all depends on what kind of performance you want and how much comfort you want to sacrifice for it. If you have ever driven a car with coilovers it is amazing, but you will feel every bump on the road. Some people prefer that feeling rather than being soft and bouncy. You just need to test drive and get a feel.

When I had my Infiniti I30, I installed a Stillen sturt and rear sway bar, the ride was soft and bouncy, and I liked that and the sturt and sway bar helped out a lot with the handling. The Audi A6 has stock coilovers, I really wanted to change the sway bars because I saw the difference in my Infiniti. Dose anyone know the stock size of the sway bars?

Audi put stock coilovers on the A6? Better check that one again, coilovers you can adjust the ride height manually.

Oh, sorry, I read it wrong, it said coil springs, not coilovers, I read it from this review http://www.carpages.ca/go/roadtest/2...e_quattro.aspx
