Would be a good idea to do the water pump too.

My belts looked in great nick when I removed them. All bearings seemed fine, but the hydraulic tensioner was very stiff and barely moved - infact I struggled to put in the locking pin to remove it.

Finally got round to fitting my KONI sport shocks and what a difference over the goosed DRC i've been driving around with. No more knocks or rattles and feels nice and planted on the road.

Not done any high speed driving as yet to see what it handles like but for normal day to day driving with the occasional blast here and there i think they will be more than suffice.

Front shocks 1.5 turns from softest
Rear shocks 1 turn from softest and lowest spring perch used.

I'll get some pics posted soon.
Which set of koni shocks did you go for? The s6 version or the quattro v8 version?

looks the perfect ride height! the rs6 just looks wrong when the tyres are rubbing the arches!
