I’m still happy with my koni setup and hotchkis arbs. I’ve had that in, what, 6 or 7 years now.
I'd be interested to know more about that. Have you got links to all the parts of it?
I think It's standard RS6 Springs with Audi S6 KONI Shock Absorbers:
Part Number: 151 14113
Part Number: 151 09552
And Hotchkis Sway Bars - Not easy to get:

Cant remember correctly, but the rear Koni shocks are difficult tot find and no more made by Koni.
If you can't go to the track, bring the track to you.

Typical!

Raising the height of the KWs has made the ride a bit more tolerable at least.

are the hotchkis anti-sway bars that much better than H&R etc.
are they thicker/stronger?
i've always wondered as i went down the H&R route as I knew the brand.
