Default H&R Street CO user. Any of you have problems with the suspension sagging after long term use?
I've noticed over the last few months that I've been scratching my belly pan a lot. Also visually I though the car looked lower than before. So I went and measured fender to ground ground clearance and I was about ?" lower at the front corners and slightly more at the rears. Not sure if my CO have reached their service life as they've been on the car for about 35K miles. I would think that they would last longer than that. Anyway, has anyone else had the same problems?

Default I have had mine for over 60k no problems. Except the control arms wear
out faster..The whole front ends' life expectancy will be reduced. But it's worth it.

Default =) no - got a very short commute, have other cars to drive and fly when we go out of town.
but when I do drive the S4 - I really like my H&R streets.....

I just like keeping the miles low on the S4
