Those of you with SS+....

to anybody with ss+..
have you noticed any negative effects eg is it much harsher around town, b roads or is it, as seems, a win/win situation? thanks.

Audi cannot change the laws of physics - you cannot get a stiffer suspensions with dramatically reduced body roll without increasing harshness of ride

I am in the unusual position of having owned the std sports suspension car for 10 months and now owning a SS+ car. The ride is undeniably harsher, it does not soak up bumps as well, and is "jiggly" on B roads.

By which I mean you feel the road much more accurately through the wheel/bum and the car feels more alive - very akin to a modern Porsche in terms of feel v comfort balance whereas the std is a more relaxed less sporty balance.

On balance a big improvement for my use, and I can now notice the difference visually and see which RS4s are std and which are not quite easily.

thanks for the comments. When you mention ride in comparison to what porsche, its just the statement covers quite a range! I know that the laws of physics can't be changed but because audi and other manufacturers don't set some/all of there cars up specifically for the uk improvements can be made and in some cases increasing ride comfort and stiffness by matching the springs with dampers for our roads. eg my subaru has prodrive springs which lowers it, bettering the looks, and rides better on a lot of the b roads around me and corners flatter than oe without being any noticeably jiggly or harsher in town. All imho
