I'm thinking of getting a koni adjustable shock and H&R spring set up. Has anyone else tried this or can let me know what to expect. Modifications so far= AMD Remap,miltek cat back, bailey dv's, k&n induction kit, and rs6 reps.

No they dont make a whoooosh sound as they are recirculating dv's. If you want the whooosh sound you need atmospheric dv's. Which i believe are not supposed to be that good for an S4 but i may be wrong so you'll have to check!!!!

What do you think to your DVs - how well do they perform? I think eatthis probably asked the question he did because he heard, as I did, that although they are closed loop they still give a distinctive sound similar to atmoshperic DV's.
Please post back if you get the Koni H&R set-up. I was going for the Koni Eibach setup but am getting swayed to the idea of H&R coilovers.

Are the H&R coilovers only height adjustable? How does the pricing compare with the koni and H&R?

you definately dont get an atmoshperic sound form the bailey re-dv's. Compared to stock they perform very well. I've had them a while now so i'm used to them but when i first got them you could tell the difference when you changed gear. Less turbo lag.... When i get my suspension sorted i'll post back and let you know what i think and the difference it's made!!!!

How much did you pay for them if you dont mind me asking and where did you buy them from and get them fitted? Do they consist of shock and springs??? Thanks.

Would be good to have a single post, maybe a sticky that lists tuning options for the B5 S4....
Such as:-
Suspension Options - Coilovers, Shocks, Springs
Brake Upgrade Options
Exhaust Options
Chip Options
Shifter Upgrades
what do people think... I dont mind compling the information but would need a Mod to approve it and Sticky it!

Good idea. Kick a post off, and we'll see where we get. I don't know how to make a sticky but I'll find out.

Thanks for the gen on the baileys Bisonone.
Olly K, you are really convincing me of H&R coilovers. Quite surprised at the price from AMD - when did you get them fitted?
Think the Sticky is a boss idea. Happy to contibute with research.
