Need help on RS4 Sport Suspension Plus SS+, too low?

Then I know it's nothing wrong with my $230.000 car (yes that's right). Even the Audi dealer could not tell.

Hello Larshs, you just have exactly the same problem I had with mine. These Audi engineers are not capable making at the same time a car that rides and looks well. I tried to get HR springs fitted by and Audi dealer, became a BIG mess with the DRC. After many discussions with the Audi warranty unit, went for a KW V3 coilover kit with HR stronger antiroll. Clearly had to take cost

By the way, the car rides much better with this suspension, you will feel the car.

Did Audi recommend the HR anti-roll bar aswell or just approve your request for one?
Considering the KW V3 option myself so any info appreciated.

Thanks genova. You had the SS+ and not the standard suspension?

By the way, I was in Switzerland last summer visiting Novidem (testing their compressor kit for the RS4) and one of the guys tried my car. He did not have the SS+ and the ceramic brakes on his. He told that my car was much better to drive due to the SS+ suspension and the brakes, but of course not so powerful as his (with the compressor).

Hello, will try to answer both answers in once. I fitted HR sway bar on my own initiative. FYI, few weeks ago I fitted back the OEM anti roll to see how it handles; just forget about it, stiffer sway bar is a must when DRC is neutralized. Just to give on an idea, I am a quite driver and am looking for the stronger Hotchkis bars .-)

I had the SS+ suspension, ride and comfort compromise was ok, for me the issue was only 'aesthetic'; hate a car looking up on the front axle. After many hassle, I am quite happy to also notice a substantially better handling (with DRC, the car is kind of foamy and unclear).

Your brakes look nice, optional was a bit to expensive for me.
