Default Suspension setup options......

I bought a used suspension setup for an S4 which is going on my A4 1.8tqms. The setup is the intrax/koni motorola cup suspension. I did this because I got a great deal on the kit and I know everyone may disagree with me but here is my question. I have the sports package on my car should I use those springs (eibach pro-kit springs) with the koni shocks or use the intrax springs with the shocks? Also if anyone around fort wayne IN would like to assist me and der mtm s4 in this process let me know.

the springs are setup for the heavier 2.7T engine, you want specific springs for the 1.8t

no drop, but you will notice some better handling and a slightly firmer ride.

Default they have rebound adjustments, but no height adjustments

you can get the ECS coilover system, and you might be able to drop it then. But I know nothing about that setup.
