People with S4 Bilstiens or Koni with H&R springs please read I have a Question...M
I have H&R Springs and Bilstien shocks(A4), I really need to change my shocks I love the spring rate but at hi speeds the car seems to float over bumps I am not getting coilovers I just want to change the shocks, My Question is go with the S4 bilstiens or the Koni adjustables? Could you Guys rate your suspension espically how it handles over bumps and dips in the road, does anyone know with shock is firmer, thank you

i don't think my Koni adjustable are stiff enough to reduce the floaty-ness...
i experience the foaty-ness and to much feedback from road bumps and swails. i generally feel a stiffer damper would eliminate this.
i have Intrax springs w/ Koni adjustables. they have to be removed to adjust - damnit!
my problem is i need to reduce the floatiness up-front only. problem is the things are already set to 3/4 of full stiffness. so even with going to full stiff i don't know if this will solve the problem.
i am serisously longing for the Tokico adjustables i had on my Z. five (5) settings and super easy to individually adjust at each corner. people bash Tokico but i had a set on each of my Z's and i put at least 60k miles one each set before i sold the cars.
CAUTION: this is all assuming the Intrax srping rates are correct for the weight of the S4!

as a side note, when i have a car full of people, the floaty-ness diminishes..
so either the springs are compressed passed a certain softer spring rate or the shocks are compressed passed a lighter damping section
....leading to less floaty-ness.
