[s-cars] Front end vibrations

[chris chambers]

Matt, Bill, etc,,,,

My S6 came with Eibach springs and Bilstens, handled great but the
ride was just too harsh on our oh so lovely michigan "roads".

Apparently if you look in the State of Michigan DOT dictionary the definiton of
road is "potholes connected by varied rough surfaces".

So after being told by four other Audiworld (at the time, now Quattroworld) that
the Eibach -Boge/Sachs (sachs bought boge) mix provideda nice look, improved
handling and a comfortable ride i decided to give it a try.

In my case my car already had Eibachs and I had a set of Sachs/Boges already
in my great pile of parts which I had purchased from Germanautoparts,com (best price at the time).

Now I also have a set of the Eibachs that were manufactured short a turn or two of coils,
If you have bilsteins there is a readily available fix, but not if you have Sachs/Boges because the
Bilstin struts are larger in diameter than stock struts. My planned fix involves acquiring a used 
set of stock spring perches to cut into spacers.

Begining to ponder the condition of my fuel lines........anybody have a fire suit for Billy boy can borrow?
