Re: Best suspension.
Also, while looking for this info, I came across some info that reminded me that I had a ride in a mate's RS6 on PSS/B14. I remember now that I found them to be much less pleasant a ride than my PSS9. I now remember thinking that they were as uncomfortable as the H&R. This was 10 years ago. 
Seems like 2 years ago. Time flies.

Demon tweaks doing them for 1400 quid. Further 4% cashback with Quidco or Top Cashback.
Bizarrely this UK vendor on German eBay is selling them for £1295

On UK eBay, same vendor same product £1560:

How's that work then?

Re: Best suspension.
They are as per the photo on the ones on Ebay and they are listed as avant ones so assume they were correct. This setup was off reg RS52ADE if anyone knows it?

Re: Best suspension.
Intending on using both if possible. I wasn't sure if they were H&R springs but I'm glad they were originals to be fair.

Re: Best suspension.
Covered 600 miles last week on pss 9 b16.
Enjoyed every mile. Even on poor country lanes.
Speed retarders wasn’t a problem still felt very comfortable.

Re: Best suspension.
This is good to hear. Kind of why I started in the first place. Give people a chance to read and let me know. I do feel a tug for the pss9 and kind of hope post covid there will be some good deals to tip me to the side and I will get a setsteve2003rs6 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 3:38 pmCovered 600 miles last week on pss 9 b16.

Re: Best suspension.
Sorry I think there is vat to add to the above.
And add £250 ish for the mounts.
Just checked the invoice and mounts were charged for separately.
This was one job out of many I had done during a 3 day visit in September last year.
