Should I go with:

Bilstein S4 struts/shocks and H&R Race Springs

or

OEM S4 struts/shocks and H&R Race Springs?

I want comfort, but it would be nice to see which setup looks better also.

I have bilstein sport shocks and neuspeed race springs...great stance and it's still a comfy ride

why do you need s4 shocks?...do you have an S4?...if so you are in the A4 section....

S4 suspension parts were designed with the weight of the S4 in mind, not your A4. It will sit higher than you might like as well.

i'd get a4 parts for your a4. s4 suspension is stiffer and will not give you as comfortable a ride as a4 suspension

I ran S4 shocks with H&R SPORT springs on my A4. Ride was good but not low enough for my tastes.

I have the Bilstein and H&R race combo on the S and love it. It's not to harsh, just go for the aftermarket combo...
