Default S4 suspension on A4
Anyone know what I could expect if I put an S4 sedan stock suspension on a A4 wagon? Would it be best to just switch the fronts out?

Default just cause it came from an s4 doesn't make it better
skip and get a real suspension. You will not experience any drop w/ the s4 suspension (unless you are a 2.8 non sport) and the mismatched spring rates will not help handling any.

Default 1.8 or 2.8?
The S4 is heavier and I don't think the rear suspension is interchangable between the sedans and wagons. Fronts are the same but the S4 spring rates are pretty high. Might be in for a stiff ride.

however, it is a cheap replacement if you have 2.8 with 160k miles
