[s-cars] Finally got the S6 lowered... I guess total drop wassomwhere near 2.5"

[Steve Marinello]

The 29800' s came on the S6 sedan when I got it.  My opinion...worthless. 
Couldn't handle a speedbump, much less anything but new asphalt with any 
enjoyment.  Went to '92 springs with Koni Sports set at 50-60% stiff, as 
opposed to the 29800's with Koni's set to almost full stiff from 2B.  Love 
2B's other stuff, but that call just doesn't make sense.  You end up riding 
on your shocks because the front springs can't handle the weight.

Yes, the lowered look was better then the slightly raised '92 springs, but 
I'd never go back.  I even prefer this setup to the Abt/Eibach springs and 
Bilsteins on the RS2'ed avant (which looks great) for real world driving. 
Now, with a HSRSB, the sedan would be even better, losing the loosy-goosey 
higher rear end that the avant mit RSB doesn't have.

I posted all this at least twice in the past.  Oh well, to each his own.
