Me too. My mechanic strongly suggests that I stay away from the Bilsteins
for the 200T as they'll be *way* too stiff. He thinks the Boge gas will
also be stiff, but not objectionally so.

This is for my wife's daily driver, and if it ends up riding like a truck
I'm in trouble. :) I'm sure she'd like it a bit more cushy than I
would...personally, I've always been happy with Bilsteins, both on my last
European sedan, and my, um, truck. Mechanic suggested that the Audi with
Bilsteins will ride much more harshly than my Volvo did...and he's got no
vested interest in this, other than the fact that he will *not* want to
install, uninstall, return, and then install a second set of shocks.

Anyone drive an otherwise stock 200 with these shocks?

Thoughts appreciated.
