Default Eibach in winter?

Hello, I'm just getting the suspension sorted on my 1999 A6 avant and would like some opinions.
Are Eibach springs going to put the car too low for general use given the Calgary winters? I already have the Koni FSD's en route, would the FSD's along with stock springs lessen the tremendous body roll enough?
Basically woul the FSD's with Eibach springs be the way to go or FSD's with stock springs?
thanks,
Rodel

Don't use the stock dampers as I did you will end up replacing them within a year anyway. I now have the FSD with eibach springs, 1.1" drop, love it. Only a few days there was concern with the lowered height with the snow here in Ontario. Great set-up on my 07 GTI. I will eventually install coil overs on my TT, I think this is a better route as I will raise the height for winter driving. The FSD with stock springs will not lower the ride height but you will love the feel of your car.
