interesting. Thanks...let me run this by u then
as some of us know H&R coilovers for the A4 is rated at 390R/390F, would u have to say that they are rated propperly for an S4? the number I had posted earlier is the rating for H&R street for the S4. Being that the spring rate is still higher on a A4 coilover it will be enough support for the S4(at stock spring rates), but not as much as it would be if I ran H&R S4 street coilovers. Is this a proper deduction or am I a lunatic??

I doubt he is being sarcastic - the spring rates you describe would
definitely be an improvement over the stock setup. Consider that most folks who add 19mm swaybars on the soft settings to a stock suspension really only achieve the effective spring rates you are proposing and you would still have a greater degree of independence in the suspension at the rear wheels.
Is this perfection for S4 handling? Nope.
Would this improve handling over the stock setup? It certainly has a chance......
