Default S4 Coilovers on A4 Avant

I've ordered S4 coilovers for my 2000 avant. I talked with H&R's tech guy and he says that the valving is about 15% more stiff and that he has had good feedback from customers who do it. He remarked that the "sport" audi suspension to the H&R standard Avant coilover (which is a bit stiffer b/c it weighs a bit more) is only about a 20% jump. I really want the avant to corner like it is on rails. So before I actually put them on (or rather Dynospot puts them on) any horror stories or actual experience here?

BTW--Just did 3 days at Jim Russel racing school in Sears Point raceway (Sonoma, CA). It was an amazing experience and now I am just beginning to understand what driving is all about. I'll post more later.

Default that is a totally good idea...

I have asked about this, and noone had any REAL responses. My thoughts are the same, I weigh more and I will carry more in the back (more than likely)... so, it would only make sense to have stiffer springs.

That is a good idea, as would coilovers.
