Looking for suggestions on suspension...
I would really only like to decrease the body roll, without reducing the ride quality or lowering the car by very much. Is there a magic combo that would give me this?
Thanks,
Brad

funny you post this..........
i just picked up my car from a tuner in town and they installed the nuespeed sport springs~ i love it! I am suprised at how the ride has not changed much at all and the perforance as far as body roll and handling are superb! I would recomend the same thing for sure. I stuck with the stock shocks and they seem to do just fine too! Good luck!

this won't bring a harsher ride? firmer is ok, just not harsh...
To be honest, I am looking to achieve something close to what is found on the 98 M3. But I felt it was a bit to jarring for everyday driving in a luxury appointed 4-door sedan.
FYI I owned a 91 Lotus Esprit with absolutly 0 body roll. It was definetly jarring. But very fun, just not every day.

totally, coilover....
too much body roll with stock suspension.
i was on highway north DVP with 360(yellow) porsche 996(blue) 30 min ago, i WISH I HAD MY 993 c4s with me,
the stock s4 has too much body roll and too soft, i was scared to go too fast on corner(180km+) but,,,,yes, i held on with them.(impressed by the stock s4 engine). even my gf was complaining about the ride not firm enough.

if you dont want to lower the car...
go with the nuespeed rear swap 19mm.
i gave vtec_killer a ride tonight at the kk meet, and ask him the comparison between stock suspension and rear sway upgrade only. body roll is soo much decreased.
its a pretty good upgrade for $150 give or take. it is the only thing keeping me from getting coilovers still. i wanted something to keep me satisfied until then. and it does.
well, enough of my rambling. i dont know if i even made any sense.
