Default koni`s or bilstein

i know bilstein are firm but have a lifetime warranty,konis are adjustable but have to remove them so that defeats that,do koni`s have a lifetime warranty? im going with the vogtland springs but cant make up my mind on the shocks,a lot of people have complained about the hr/bilstein combo being jumpy at highway speeds,is that cause of the springs or shocks,would the vogtland/bilstein be better.
anyone know other pros n cons of these 2 shocks,tnxx

Vogtlands should probably be matched with Konis, as I think I told you before.

Default they can be adjusted for damping, not height. even though i have mine set to the most aggressive...

i think that they are still livable

Default mine are at medium/lightly agressive setting. bumps are not a problem. ive been in cars..

with aggressive suspension and hitting bumps rattles the whole car. this is nothing like that. i've never driven an s4 with stock suspension, but ride comfort wise...im sure its really close to stock. if the car didnt come with these, id probably go with some H&R's or STASIS c/o's. but i've had no complaints so i don't feel the need to switch over

Get them with grooves. 1 Notch lower front and rear higher. Your car would look perfect.
