Default Bilstein coilovers?

I was talking to a fellow at a local shop who specializes in mods. He showed me a brochure for Bilstein coilovers (for S4 not available yet). I don't know much about springs and shocks and what's better but I do know I want to do coilovers because they take up overall less space and I can corner-balance the car. From what I've learned H&R coilovers 'supposedly' use shock components from Bilstein, but it is clear from the brochure that the new Bilstein coilovers will use springs made by H&R.....
any comments or has anyone else heard about these ?<p>David Bishop

Default No, but i had them on my 81 Scirocco and they were great

progressive, firm, but not harsh. I was astounded, since upgraded shocks with stock springs had produced a slightly hard ride. The lowered Bilstein setup was more comfortable. Float? Nonexistant.
