Default S4 SUSPENSION!!!!!!

OK guys, I need some info. I'm in need of new suspension and I'm wondering where I can get the best bang for the buck. I have now some Tein springs on stock struts... I know I know, crappy combination.I don't know if there are any group buys right now on this sight or anywhere else.... Just let me know what is best for a solid street performer, yet can still hold up with the big boys at the track. I have a B5 S4 00.... Thanks again.

Either Stasis or H&R coilovers both are very very good i think stasis would even have the opinionated edge over all others, also while you are there in that areaand have the money some Zimmerman drilled/ slotted rotors..

Vogtland Coilovers are also good and are a decent price. Best way to get inexpensive coilovers is to get them used from someone off the forums.

I have H&R springs and those are great, not sure how good the Teins are, but my s4 doesn't roll very much at all.

I have koni coilover and they are great,one thing I don't like about some suspension is that the ride is hard. I know that when you lower a car you can't expect the ride to be plush. Do you guys feel the h&r or the stassis are better than the koni and the reason I ak is that Im the process of buying an s4 b5 and need to change the suspension.

Here is what I have heard from some of the CO setups from fellow friends and Audi members

H&R - good performance, terrible riding (very stiff)
Vogtlands - pretty much good at everything, but not top notch
Stassis/Koni - a little better performance then Vogtland
- Stassis CO's are Koni COs with some add on's and tuning from Stassis. They have Tracksports and Streetsports depending on what you want.
Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers - very very good overall

Research what you want, but these are the most popular setups I think for B5 S4's. I think Tein has a set of coilovers but I havent heard much about them.

You can't get adjustable valving for $1000.

My other point, if you can adjust rebound & compression, would you know how, or would you just mess it up?
