has any S4 drivers drive a normal A4 sport suspension before?
how does it compare with S4 cars?
the technician told me that two suspension is the same...
but i don't think it is from what i see the reviews from
because the A4 sport suspension has body roll during cornering and it is harsh
the S4 suspension from what i've seen has no body roll and its ride quality is great
just want to make sure

Re: has any S4 drivers drive a normal A4 sport suspension before?
I am coming off a S4 w/ H&R coilovers and now have the sport suspension on my A4 and to be honest I can not really tell which one is better as far as handling. The A4 definitly rides much better. You do not have that jolting feeling whenever you go over bumps. As far as the highways and corners, I have been really happy/impressed with the sport suspension. The car feels just as stiff and secure going through corners compared to my S4. Hope that this helps.

I have an A4 with Sport Package and drove a new S4 this past weekend (more)
The feel of the suspensions between the two cars was noticeable. The S4 actually felt more compliant on rough roads! I wasn't able to push the handling during the test drive but it felt much tighter than my car.
My salesperson said part of it stems from the tire and wheel package resulting in less unsprung weight. I can't get any figures yet to see if this is true compared to the setup on my car but I'll keep looking.
All in all, I was very impressed with the S4's suspension setup. In normal driving it was actually a much nicer ride compared to my A4....not something I expected at all.
I'm even more of a fan now!

Well we can ask people with RS4 wheels if they feel any difference.
If the suspension is identical it is only the wheels are different, but in which case a good aftermarket setup on an A4 can provide the same if not better characteristics.
