Lee,
you can usually find ProKit springs at TireRack.com for competitive prices. RD Enterprises may carry them as well....www.shox.com. I got mine from WM Sander Autogear in CT, but I couldn't tell you their phone number right now to save my life, and I don't know if they have a website. They used to advertise in the back of European Car, but I haven't seen them there in a while. I wouldn't necessarily be inclined to use your stock S6 springs on the A6 without first determining their overall ride height change. If it's too low, it may blow the stock struts, which are made for a higher ride height. A number of members of the 20v.org list have upgraded to shorter springs and used the normal Boge replacement struts, only to have them fail from the load. I'd recommend going with a shorter-throw strut if you change them.
good luck.
