Default Suspension Option Opinions Please

Hi all,

I am doing the suspension on my S4 and here are my options given my budget and what stores can get me:

Koni Sport Shocks + H&R Springs
Koni Sport Shocks + Eibach Pro Kit(springs)
Bilstein Shocks + H&R Springs

Are any of the setups better than the rest? I am interested in a nice ride when im cruising and a capable suspension when I want to corner aggressively.

Thanks,

Mark

Default Are you interested in controlling ride height?

LI-S4's link details all height adjustable suspensions.

I have the Koni adjustables (yellow) with H&R springs. It's a very good suspension but is not height adjustable and sits very low, 24.5". I recommend that you do not go lower than the 25.5" mark, which is achieved with suspensions from Stasis like the Streetsports. For a couple hundred more than a fixed height setup, get the Streetsports.

what is most important to you (comfort vs. performance)? and do you want the car really low?
