Default FINALLY got the H&R springs in!!!! After all the fuss with the shocks...

If you notice the longer shafted one in the pic, that was the culprit! But the AS DTS and the APR snub is done (no bumper removal, but still a pain). And the simple mod of the RS4 **** is in! Of course that's the mod the gf loves the most! Go figure! Anyway, here's some pics.
The stock S4

The lowered S4

And the culprit for it not getting done on Sat.

Default I'd say a bit floaty, but not bad. I like that though. I don't like really...

stiff suspensions. It stiffened up a bit, but in the corners you can definately feel it.

Default They are the Bilsteins/H&R sport springs. I set them at...

one notch below stock setting in the front and it has to come back up one. WAY TO LOW in front. The rears I ordered grooved for the rear, but don't need them because you can't adjust them up and it's low enough in the rear. So if you are going to run H&amp;R's just go for the Bilsteins with no grooves and you'll be fine. Like I said I have to raise it up a notch back to the way they came.
