on an a8 w12, all d2, what is the difference in the spring weight for the front...i am assuming, i know, not a good idea, why i am asking, that the rears will be about the same wieght wise, so thats not a worry, but the fronts, i think the difference in wieght of the two cars is around 300#, and that is just about all front, all engine, so am i going to be able to see in the ride height the 2 invisible guys sitting on my hood? and wiil the susp be acting differently? never track it, no racing, and i will be gettting new shocks, bilstiens probably, unless some one can steer me to something better, and i don't have to try to go lowball here so, i appreciate any advice given, and there will be a set of KW var1 coilovers all 4 wheels with whatever is there and coming out cause the ride sucks, it looks just right, the rears lower about 50mm and the fronts are adjustable and i think it can go 55mm +/-, thanks in advance, kevin,i am in germany, should i just go to audi to buy the S8 parts?, don;t think so, i don't have to cut costs but no reason to pay top dollar either,

We never got the D2 W12 in the UK so there is little knowledge about it. You could try www.A8-fruende.com or www.A8-germany.de. There may be more owners on there.
