hey i have a b5 s4 which i purchased not to long ago and im having the same problem in getting the "right" look, Idont want a bumpy ride. I was lookin at some H&R springs which go for $259.00 and lower the car 1.4" in the front and 1.3" in the back.
Dont know if this helps at all.

just so you know ud have to get shocks with those springs, cuz the stockers are not made for that spring, and it will make the ride not good, plus the stockers will wear down super fast and blow on u.

Yeah, i was looking at what the best shock and spring setup was...I had heard that if you dont get new shocks when u get ur springs your shocks will wear out...thanks...

Theres a bunch of posts on this topic - just search the forums.. I'm looking at Suspension as my next mod too -
seems like the spring & shock combo H&R / Bilstein is one of the popular setups if youre not to set on adjustability..
Bilstein also can add "grooves" to the shocks to give you an additional 1/2" to 1/4" of adjustability...

I just purchased an S4 as well. I dont want to turn the car into a money pit, so i went with the H&R spring Bilstein shock combo instead of Coilovers. I also picked up a used APR catback for under $300 bucks. Just shop around and you can get some good deals.
