I'm having a hard time finding other options for my current setup since it's getting a bit harsh on the L.A. roads I travel. I only ended up lowering my car since my new 18"s with 40 series tires had a huge wheel gap.

98.5 B5 A4 2.8 FWD
I have currently: H&R Sport/Koni w/18" RS4 Replicas & PZero Nero M+S 225/40/18.

Have had in the past: Eibach/Bilstein (The front end began to settle and sag down and rubbed on speed bumps/driveways)

I've been told by the dealer that OEM Sport springs won't differ much from the OEM non-Sport height. What about S4 springs?

I'm just looking for anyone who can recommend a more comfortable setup OEM/Aftermarket? Would going to 17" wheels/45 series tires help my current setup?

It's most likely the 18" rims, not the suspension.

Changing rims to a larger sidewall will also make it more comfortable.

What shocks do you recommend? If I may ask, what springs are you running and wheel/tire size?

S4iowa

depending on the road. I run 18's most of the time, and 16's in the winter. Going to the 16's makes it much less harsh.

But comfort levels are subjective, everyones opinion of comfort expectations are different.
