Couldn't cross reference them to anything, so I got them from the dealer. Like you said catalogues indicate A8 and S8 taking the same shocks.

    - Maybe someone around here has the Bilsteins and can comment? - hyperlogos 2016-04-11 07:28:18 (241 views)
      - That would be great if someone does have the Bilsteins   -  oldsklaudidub  2016-04-11 08:05:53 (187 views)
        
        My 2 cents...............   -  TerminA8r  2016-04-11 13:56:09 (326 views)
        
        I read that earlier. Super helpful. I would be trying the Bilsteins with stock springs.   -  oldsklaudidub  2016-04-11 14:33:17 (210 views)
        
        You might have issues with rebound and/or bounce with that combo.  -  TerminA8r  2016-04-11 17:03:19 (285 views)
        
        I think it is worth a call to Bilstein to find out. I do not want the car any lower; NY has issues..   -  oldsklaudidub  2016-04-12 08:08:31 (202 views)
        
        Bilstein told me anything that is "B6" is designed for stock springs. Good to go.   -  oldsklaudidub  2016-04-13 21:58:13 (230 views)
        
        Really interested in your driving impressions with stock springs  -  hyperlogos  2016-04-14 07:12:00 (204 views)
- My indy recommended Bilstein HD's for the '03 S8. Not sure how they compare to stock? - skiracer13 2016-04-09 15:06:06 (232 views)
  - Im now leaning towards the bilsteins for $444 shipped. Sachs $425 shipped - oldsklaudidub 2016-04-10 11:54:51 (253 views)
    - Are Sachs reds NLA? - JFrahm 2016-04-11 10:07:21 (234 views)
      - Good question. Mine came factory with reds. - oldsklaudidub 2016-04-11 16:17:54 (200 views)
