The shocks were custom grooved for adjustability, and adjusting the fronts to two perches below stock would compensate for the ligther engine on the 1.8 vs. 2.7T's.
What do you think the ride will be like? Anyone running this setup???
Thanks guys.

Makes sense... you're running S4 suspension too though... how do you get away with it?
Keep in mind that I would be using A4 springs, just custom grooved and valved S4 shocks.
Still a no go in your opinion?

planning on, im still doing research on whether or not i should do it. ofcourse the front is going
to be stiffer, but coilovers adjust for weight differently than springs and shocks.
im not 100% sure im going for the s4 ones...maybe the a4
but for sure H&R COs. same price.

I was looking at the H&R's and Mike from PureMS was telling me that S4 was the way to go...
Especially if you drive aggresively or get out to track/autoX events from time to time.
