Default Suspension upgrade

Hi guys !!!

I need some feedback from those of you who replaced their Suspension,
my plan is to buy Neuspeed Sport Spring with Bilstein Sport(Neuspeed
modified) Shocks or Koni Sport(Neuspeed modified) Shocks combination.
Is it right that Neuspeed modify the Shocks (Koni and Bilstein) to
their specifications (valving, ajustable C-Clamp, etc.), if so, what
is those modifications ???

I drive in rought road sometime but never off-road, I want to keep a
confortable ride with a sporty handling. After that, I want to
install Neuspeed front/rear(19mm) Sway-Bar, what is your experiences
with them, do you recommand it ??

I prefer to start with suspension handling before improving the
motor...by adding a chip...maybe someday ????

Thanks

Patrick from Quebec, Canada

Default Leave the front swaybar as-is and upgrade to a 19mm rear Neuspeed bar if you feel you need it...

...after you have your springs and shocks installed.

Default Andy, Don't do anyhting else to your car, I can't afford it!

APR, H&R C/O, Tanoga, Neuspeed 19mm, Milltek exhaust. Stop, I'm getting married this year, and I can't add anyhting else.

For those who want just the right stuff on the S4's, follow andy's lead, he has been spot on!

Default love my intrax MC

I had the same comfort requirements for my upgrade. I put on 40k miles in the first 6 months, so I wanted something that wont make my teeth rattle like my RX7. The Intrax MC lowers just enough and feels solid but not harsh. Also I just put on the rear Neuspeed 19 mm, which makes the car feel more solid too.
