So good on struts for the fronts, it’s the back that seem to keep going. My guess is it’s just to much squat for them with the extra hp over stock, and I say that because there is a history of rear failures in the Cadillac CT’s-v forums with higher hp.

Ah, I must have missed your HP in your signature. Excellent theory on your part. Mine is bone stock with an A6 and what is that - a paltry 470 HP at the tire? Have never heard a link between HP and strut failure mentioned but when it squats under heavy load that force is sure transmitted. If I do a little pulley, tune, injectors, and brick and get to maybe 520 RWHP I doubt that's going to be a show stopper. Good to know you have a stockpile of parts and some knowledge to go with it. These boards are great - filled with smart people.
