Right.....I have a choice between Audi s-line springs and shocks OR

The Audi ones are brand new costing 535 for the kit or the above ones are 600. Is it worth the extra cost? (Delivery etc). I'm also concerned about it looking a bit daft because it'll look like an s line (body style wise) but be 5mm lower.

Opinions welcome.

Just my own opinion,but I'd say the Bilsteins will be MUCH better,and you probably won't notice a 5mm drop,but you will notice the improved handling.

Same as Alex, IMHO Bilsteins are one of the best !!!!

Cheers for the advice, seems to be the general consensus. I think the ride quality is something that concerns me about the s line set. I believe it can be quite a hard ride.

Personally,I don't think so,but then I do like a pretty hard setup on my cars.

One of the best, if not the best, springs and shocks option available.
