Default MTM/koni is superb for the street.........

Very well tuned for aggressive street driving, but the ride is not severely compromised. There are definitely stiffer set-ups for the track, however. Can't comment on ABT. Ask the guys at Stratmosphere about ABT stuff. By the way....ABT chip is superb<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com">http://www.stratmosphere.com</a</li></ul>

Default The Abt suspension has superb ride quality... better than stock.

I'm not kidding. The Abt suspension is much smoother over rough surfaces. It is very composed. I don't feel the uncontrolled bounciness of the stock when driving over pot holes and speed bumps. On the freeway, it is also just as smooth, but without the floaty feeling. It is probably the best compromise you can get for the S4.

Talk to Bob or Pete at Stratmosphere and ask their opinion. They used to carry MTM, but now sell Abt. Or you can call up Hoppen. They sell both.

Default The MTM is the best combo out these besides Coilovers. Non progressive springs and correct S4 spring
