uneveness: I'm not sure why one side would be lower than the other. you
sure it's not due to crowned road or something....which would shift the center
of gravity towards the low side?

really hard to give 'how much' advise on spring break-in over the internet. but
how about riding over railroad crossings or something which helps work the
springs?

another thing which I've seen is that when someone installed the springs, they
were sloppy and didn't seat the end of the coil into the little pockets 1) in the
spring pad, 2) in the lower control arm. you sure the springs were placed
properly...front vs rear, right?

LOL! Actually, not ventured there yet and not had much time to hang out at any forums these days (except for the past week). Still got the W210 anyways. The Audi will remain a WIP for quite a long time since the new ECU is so sensitive and mod-proof, but I'll have it figured out before the warranty runs out LOL.
