Default Stiff but stock
I'm looking to make my suspension stiffer but retain stock ride height. What could be done here, new springs? Every set of springs I come across lower the vehicle.

S4 suspension. A finger or so lower, essentially nothing, and significantly stiffer.

That's only if you don't have sport suspension of course, but it will raise the front of the car a bit because of the lighter motor.

I've heard about the raise on the 1.8 but how much do you think it would raise? A slight little raise is fine with me.

I wouldn't know, but the front of my car is just a tiny bit higher than the back and it really bothers me.

The 2.8 is almost as heavy as the 2.7T so I'm with Jeremy on this one.

2.8 is a little bit lighter but the car is still lower a little bit with the s4 springs and specialy if you have a automatic it will be fine
