Default Suspension upgrades

I'm looking into complete suspension and driveline stabilization for the a6 and would like input. I've read that many people like bilstein and koni setups with meyle or febi control arms, 034 mounts, and the DL stabilizer by jhmotorsports.

I don't want a full track setup, but I would like my audi alot more if it was much stiffer. In the past I have used moog and monroe suspensions stuff and was content but had a stiffer setup in mind than my a6.

This is the setup I as thinking of monroe struts with eibach springs (open to debate), o cap control arms, JHM DLS, 034 mounts (open to debate), steel TREs, hotchkiss sway bar (open to debate) with poly bushings, all riding on 19 in wheels.

Let me know what yall think

I just installed the febi-bilstein front control arm kit with stabilizer links and steel TRE's and it made a huge difference. I got the parts at ECSTuning for $500 and it was well worth the money. As far as I could tell, the parts I replaced were the original factory units, so they definitely needed to go. I also replaced the wheel bearings just because the car had 230K miles on it, but they really didn't seem too bad. The FCP/Ocap/Meyle kits may be good too, but I haven't tried them and I didn't want to take a chance for a job this big. My daughter's going to be driving soon and this may be her car, so I'm planning on keeping it for a while.

I've heard a lot of people thumb ups the febi kit. I would like to get some input from anyone who has used ocap, I don't know much about them but they seem very reputable and are the OEM supplier for lambo so they couldn't be terrible right?
