Default Opinions on H&R coilovers / Bilstein dampers on S8 ? .....

If anyone has any experience (first or second-hand) regarding the above, please share your views? I'm thinking of this upgrade for a '98 S8 in the UK and need informed opinions asap ! - pros and cons.

Thanks in advance

Default I've had H&R coilovers on my 2001 S8 for 7k miles

Ride is not much stiffer, but the car handles great and the car looks very agressive. I get compliments everywhere. Go for it!

Default Jay, did you change your wheels ? ....(more)

I'm planning to keep my stock 18inch Avus wheels -but did you get bigger rims ? If so, has performance/ride suffered as a result of larger, heavier wheels ?

Default Yes, 19" BBS CH

Someone on this forum from Europe posted my picture of my car on his website if you wanted to see it. The suspension actually settled a bit, so it's a tad lower. Ride is not much harsher than stock, but that can be a subjective opinion.
