Bilstein coilovers aren't yet available for the S4.

Default d0h! hrrrm well how much would a decent set of coilovers run ? Labor as well

Can you do suspension yourself? A friend of mine suggested that it's not all that difficult and that he'd done it himself on a few of his other vehicles

Default Check out the Tech section for an A4 suspension install article.

AWE Tuning sells the H&R coilovers for $1249.95 for an S4 sedan.

Default Yes, I am aware of that.....but Bilstein is also starting to sell their own coilover......

....I saw it at the NE Audi Event and have also seen the ads in European Car magazine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bilstein.com/products/sspage.html">Bilstein BTS, PSS & PSS9 Suspension Systems</a></li></ul>

Default I talked to the bilstein rep at waterfest...

...and he said they are hoping to have them available by the end of august/beginning of september. If they are released on time, they will have an intro price of $899 for non adjustable coilover, and 1399 for the 9 way adjustable. These prices are MSRP

Default Designed by Bilstein vs. designed by H&R...

I talked with the rep at the NE event also and asked what makes them different:

H&R coilovers - designed by H&R, shocks are Bilsteins, but valved to H&R specs.

Bilstein coilovers - designed by Bilstein, springs are manufactured by H&R to Bilstein specs.

Interesting...I'm anxious for them to hit the market.
