H&R Coilovers or Konis ?

[Carps]

Just got off the phone with AMD regarding a little suspension upgrade, and they have thrown an option into the equation.

I was all set for H&R coilovers, as seems to be popular here, but 'John' at AMD was recommending the Koni kit. It is fixed height (20-25mm lower), but apparantly does not compromise the ride as much as the H&R, whilst still giving the handling benefits - reduced roll and dive.

Anyone got anything to say or experience of both options ?
I don't want a go-kart, and my primary objective is to lose a bit of the gap, and reduce the dive under braking and roll under cornering.

TIA

Scott @ Amd swears by the H&R. He says nothing else he has ever tried works as well for the S4 to get rid of the 'bounce'. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Quite right - and Scott knows his stuff.

Personally I do not feel that the H&Rs compromise the ride quality much. I went in DJG's stock S4 recently and did not feel any difference in ride comfort, just a difference in body roll, dip and understeer.

If you can get DJG to post - he can let you know what he thought of my car's ride comfort.

Of course the best way to decide is to get along to a meet and have a ride in someone's H&R-equipped S4.
