Oh and if you're on a budget and just want slight lowering/changes, get used sport springs if you don't already ahve the sport suspension

I believe most sport springs will lower the car about an 1 1/2". If you replace springs, you definitely want to replace your shocks/struts as well. As far as springs, I would recommend either H&R or Vogtland. As far as shock/struts, I would recommend Koni yellows. I have seen this setup on A4's and A6's. The look is more aggressiveand you do not sacrifice all of your ride comfort. It will be stiffer but not as stiff as an Eibach/Bilsteen combo!

Also,

think about H-Sports sways after you lower.....they will really put the car on rails!

Probably not. The Koni Yellows are pretty rough on the A6 especially with H&Rs, a little better with Eibachs

So far the cheapest I have found is the H&R + Bilistein combo from AWETUNING.COM almost bought it a few weeks ago, but getting rid of the car soon so it would have been a pointless buy.
