I thought the rs4 springs were about 20mm lower, which is exactly what i want. The shocks are stiffer but they can't be that bad.
Why do you say imy car would be like a 4x4?

because its only the sport option suspension (gmbh) on the rs4 the works well on the s4,
the standard rs4 stuff is not any better than the standard s4 but your car will sit much higher at the rear 10-15 mm because of the extra weight of the advant.
dont do it man, i only had mine in a week until i bought a new kit.

you have probably already read all the bullshit about rs4 suspension on this site but its the gmbh stuff that they mean. trust me it wont sit lower

Good info curtis11.
I didn't know that. Maybe i'll just buy lowering springs. Don't have the money for a full kit at the mo.
I've been wanting to sort the suspension with ages but other stuff more important.

How comes all the other threads here say that standard RS4 suspension is lower then?
