Eibach springs ?
I am thinking about changing my S4 setting.
I would like to mount :
Eibach Spring,
18/8 wheels
235/35/18 tires
Does anybody already tried this setting?
If someone knows the part number for the springs,it will help me. In europe, there is no springs for the S4 in the Einbach catalog ! I am thinking about ordering this in US (tirerack)
Thanks,
phe

I know the results of what you want to do !
The Eibach springs w/18" wheels and tires
After installing the 18" BBS RWII wheels with 225/40-18 Michelin Pilot Sports the S4 realized no aprreciable ride degradation and a significantly improved cornering ability. as you already know the S4 suspension does have an extreme nose dive and rising on aggressive shifts. After installing Eibach Pro Kit springs (part # 1568.140) the dive/rise effect was all but eliminated and the car handled large dips in a more civilized manner. The small bumps were somewhat more noticable but not to an annoying level. The cornering was greatly improved and body roll is almost nonexistant.
Thanks, I hope this helps, Luke

You got it. (long)
Just to explain my situation :
I have 2 A4 avant.
I have an A4 2.5TDI Avant with Eibach and my stock 17' S4 wheels. It is really good.
The second is an S4 avant with BBS RXII 18/8.5 and AVS Sport 245/35/18. I would like to lower this car. I am affraid that with my 245 I will hit the shape when hard driving.
I had Good year F1 225/40/18 but they are too small for the wheel. That is the reason for the 245. Untill now it works perfectly, no hit but car is still moving (body-roll and diving when braking)
So what I have in mind is :
- putting the BBS and the 245 on my TDI which is less a sport car (It is too mush for the car but...) .
- bying einbach spring and OZ supertourismo 18/8 (remenber LeMans) I can finish my goodyear 225 with this setting. and then I put PZERO 235/35/18 to fit the OZ wheels.
By the way, if you have einbach spring for the S4 AVANT, give me a phone number that I can reach from europe and I will order it from you.
Boring story, but if you have a better idea, it will be welcome.
