After reading the 7 page thread from RS6.com over and over I have decided to fit Koni Sport Shocks and the original DRC springs. Quite a few people have done this in the US with great success.
I will post up pics and progress over the next couple of weeks so people can judge for themselves.
Here is the link to the US build thread, this setup seems to yield a very comfortable, compliant ride whilst still having enough to keep it sporty in the twisty stuff.

FYI, I will be fitting ARB's to compensate for the loss of coilovers.
STAY TUNED
