Default Pros: less squat/dive/body roll, appearance Cons: Chance of hitting undercarriage/wheel wells
The pros much out weigh the cons. Just get coilovers so that you can fine tune the height.

due to crappy spring rate not made for S4 piggy weight. Get MTM springs or do coilovers.

Default you're around New Bruswick now right?
most of the roads down there are pretty good, but the snow that builds up between tire trails will be an issue, especially on many of the side roads. my opinion, just go for it!
