Does the S4 have a different suspension from B7?

Are the B7 S4 and B7 A4 with sport suspension the same? If not what kind of different hardware is in the S4? I would like to get my car to S4 handling level.

The springs are different because of the weight difference between the S4 and A4.
One thing that was fairly apparent with the B7 S4 in a test drive is the weight up front, could feel it more than the A4.

To get your car to handle like an S4 you just need to strap 100 lbs of lead in your engine bay..
You should say 'I want my car to handle better than an S4' and you'd have a lot of options. The A4 is much more evenly weighted than an S4 - that's one huge advantage.
Some good coilovers and maybe a rear sway and you'll handle better than a stock S4.

i've driven an S4 and the suspension seems to be the same stiffness. But like stated above, throw on a set of Tracksport coilovers and you'll outhandle most anything out there, let alone an S4
