    How do you change springs on an S6? 5 minute job?

    Looking at putting sport springs on my S6, how do you do it? Can I have a reasonably detailed answer as I'm a bit

    Plus, are spax any good?

    5 minutes ?

    Mmm - we wish - reckon on ~1hr per corner to be realistic. I personally wouldnt put SPax anywhere near an S2 or S6... and think long and hard if it really needs to be lowered.

    I'd bet that fresh new gas damoers will transform the car if its feeling a bit boaty. Dare say Koni or Bilstein have something for you - maybe adjustable too.

    And there are stiffer ARBs for the S6 from Neuspeed that will flatten your corners out too - I would only lower it if unhappy with those two approaches.

    Just my view like.......
