Default I've got them and they are great!

I tried the H&R sport springs only to start with, but the stock shocks didn't have the dampening required. I put the coilovers on and they are absolutely perfect. I have mine set at 25.5" front and rear to the fender lip. I had them lower, but I like them right where they are at now.

The ride is stiffer then stock, but not bad. body roll, dive and squat is greatly reduced and the road feel is excellent. The only time I would complain about them is when the roads are very rough, but that is normal.

My wife used to complain about the sport springs, but since I have the coilovers at 25.5", she likes the ride.

Default I rode in Steve S.'s S4 w/ H&Rs & 18" wheels @ NorCal Audi lunch today...

I'm considering getting them myself. From the brief ride that I got - thank you Steve, I was very impressed. Cornering, acceleration, braking all felt very neutral - HUGE improvement over stock. Yet, the ride was not nearly as rough as I expected. I'm pretty confident I could be comfortable in it everyday.<p>-jeff a
