Coming from an A3 2.0T with the sport suspension, my A4 2.0T Avant premium package suspension feels a bit too soft. Plus, there is a bit more wheel gap than I like. (3-fingers plus, versus an ideal 2 finger gap.) Also feels like the sway bar could be beefier.
Already replaced the all-season rubber with some summer rubber - any suggestions on which suspension to look at? I do not want a rougher riding suspension, the A4 rides great right now. But I do want something to stiffen it up in the corners so that it is nice and tight when whipping the car left/right. Right now it feels a big mushy if I wiggle the steering wheel on the highway. The A3 was extremely responsive at this, and I miss that.
Thanks in advance!

Bilstein PSS9's and I think the PSS10's are out now too. I have them on my B6 S4 with Hsport sways, its like a giant go-cart now. BUT, you feel the bumps. I was carving turns at 120 on I-79 no problems. and yes open road, nobody around, no traffic...

I-79? Where? My experience with that road is that I wouldn't go 120 MPH on it under any conditions(Washington - Pittsburgh) but that is several years ago. Has it improved?
