Yep, the OEM struts will wear out quickly with lowering springs - they're not designed to run at a lower ride height. Check out www.stratmosphere.com for Vmaxx coilovers - $599 a set last time I checked their site (that's for struts, springs, perches, and adjusting wrench).
Coilovers. . . . $600. . . . thats bananas! has anyone heard or V-Maxx or is anyone running them now. Sounds two good to be worth it (could be a you get what you pay for situation)

A lot of guys run them in the VW world and they are slowly growing in the Audi world. I know of a few guys who run them on a few sites and love them, they are about Stock stiffness though so they are more for looks then for performance enhancing ability
