Default Praxis Suspension for the S4........

I was looking for a suspension upgrades for my new purchased 01' S4. I found a article or ad in a magazine about the Praxis Suspension by Bridgestone. Went to their site and found out they only have suspensions for WRX and 3-Series BMW. The system is cooler than ****. I believe that other companies put these types of suspensions is their stock vehicles but I believe that these are the first aftermarket air controlled suspension. Anyway the site is below. I emailed them and asked them if and when they would making anything for the S4. Here is their response to my email:

Default There was an article in a magazine about it recently

It might have been Sport Compact Car so take the review with a grain of salt but they had it on a project WRX and they said it was good for track use and it was riding like crap on the street so they took it off and replaced it with something else.

Cool, Just look like a cool idea, especially the push button adjustable suspension. Maybe someone else will make a better system. My M3 is great 90% of the time. (Except in the Alaska winter) I haven't received my S4 yet, but with limited driving time (test drives) the stock suspension is softer than my M3. The Stasis Suspension looks great, but I have figured out which one would be best.
