S4 H&R Springs and Bilstein Shocks on A4?

If I bought that combo (that is designed for/installed on an S4), would it fit my A4 or would the shocks or springs need to be modified?

don't do it........those springs are designed for the S4, which is substantially heavier

Yes you could. You can set the fronts to the lowest setting

and raise the rears up to be even with the fronts, but the car wont be as low as you would like it to be. I have Intrax S4 MC springs on a set of Koni's and I ended up having a new groove put on the front shocks that was 1" lower. That put the car at 1 finger gap in front and the rear is 1.5 finger gap.
