Suspension suggestions needed .....B5 S4
i am thining of swapping out my fk konigsports....i hardly ever adjust the height of the coilovers and dialing in the rebound correctly is an arduous process....anyone have any thoughts on a bilstein/eibach setup for the b5 s4...i am looking for something that will eliminate the floating sensation on the highway @ higher speeds......any suggestions/comments would be appreciated!! TIA

coilovers well worth the price.
I just got a new set of coilover (Patec) because with coilovers, you can adjust the eight perfectly to your desire. I have the Hi-Tec kit from FK before but I wasn't happy with the eight.
Buy once, get coilovers, you won't regret it.
Bisltein is overrated and old... coilovers is the way to go!

you're getting float with the FK C/Os?
how about a decent coilover setup? H&R, KW, Koni, Stasis, etc?
Bilstein/Eibach combo would normally be a step down from a coilover setup, imho... ...but in the case of the FKs, it may be a step up :P (...I hear things re:FK spring rates...)

I just put in the grooved Bilstein/H&R setup and it really cleaned up the float. I
have it set at 25.5" all around and I think this is how the car should have come from the factory in terms of looks and performance. However, keep in the mind that I wouldn't consider this a hardcore suspension. There are far stiffer set ups out there but this one seemed like an excellent blend of performance and day to day drivability.
