Thanks MJ  i found this thread you made http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...598#post138598 does this mean a a8 with standard shocks and sports spring would sit lower than if it had the sport shocks as well? Or does it just sit lower if you use sports shocks with non sport spring perch? I might lower the front and then test with my current 255 35 20 to see how it looks when lowered, they will be going on the allroad when I get the new tyres for the rs4 wheels.

I'd suggest maybe buying a part-worn or scrap tyre in 265 40 and trying it, before spending big bucks on a set of four. 265 35 20 fits ok though.
The Eibach springs lower to about the same as a stock S8 or A8 sport so you might as well just stick some A8 4.2 Sport springs on the front. The rears do tend to settle more than the front. S8 springs on the back would probably lift it up a little if the stock ones have sagged or snapped. Yes, you'd need FL springs. The PF are slightly different lengths and weights.
