Ok... Since my S4 now officially has All Road Suspension, it's time get suspension.
I put the 18" DTM RS4 wheels on. My car has 'Big Wheel' disease. The wheel gap is terrible, and looks even worse.
I guess my first choice for suspension is the Voglant Springs with the Koni Shocks. Seems to have good reviews, and the price is decent.
I've never really been a big fan of coil overs. Leveling them is a pain, the collars always seem to seize up, and they're expensive. I don't want to give myself flexibility on ride height, cause I know I can't control my desire to crank it down extra low.
I'm looking for a decent deal here, firmer than stock feel, but not super harsh. I guess I would consider something used as well...
Seems I've pretty much already talked myself into the Vogland/Koni set up, but just thought I'd share my thoughts, and see if anyone could sway my opinion.
And no, you don't get pictures of my car, because it's embarrasing. Sigh.

Also maybe thinking about this suspension...
From ECS...
H&R Sport Spring & Bilstein Grooved Sport Shocks Combo
But I've heard the H&R's might be a bit "floaty"?

That's what I'm going to be running, brotha...and I hope to try
and get it in this weekend with the help of Funkweasel if possible. You are more than welcome to give the car a whirl after installed. I want A LITTLE float. I HATE stiff springs! I just want to notice a difference in corners. That's all...

C/O's. Calm your fears!
While some may slam their cars, because, well, they can, others (me) have found a very good ride height, and basically "Lee Malone" (leave them alone).
As ride the ride height can affect the overall handling of the car, you'll probably find the best setting is not the lowest setting.
Take it one step furhter, and for great peice of mind, corner weight your car (properly!).
