I'm thinking of going to S8 suspension and changing my luxury comfort seats to sport seats.

Default H&R not doing ride height adjustment on the A8/S8 is just laziness.

The B6 A4 has the same setup, shock seperate from the spring. All they need to do is make an adjustable perch for the spring to sit in like they have for the B6 A4 (which is what I had previously along with H&R coilovers).

Default Steering feel

I just read about a circuit that we could possibly use to adjust the power adjust, I was too tired to look into the other night....

I was thinking about that and possibly making it for the A8/S8 and marketing it. It would be a couple hundred dollars.

Default I love the S8 suspension I installed on my A8

Hoppen supplied, great service.

Next mod for my A8 will be a SuperSprint exhaust system if and when they get their new X over pipe made.

Also I submitted an dealer application to SuperSprint.

Do you have any recent pictures of your A8 with the upgraded S8 suspension?

I'm considering this option.

Sport seats are the most comfortable seat you will find.
