Default Anyone know the stock B5 S4 ride height? I'm getting the H&R/grooved Bilstein combo and have no

idea what height to have them set it at. I don't want to screw up the suspension geometry and slam the car.

Thanks

Default Just make sure that the front is no lower than 25.5", and keep the rear 1/8" higher than the front..

and you should be ok. This is recommended by Stasis. Check their website for alignment specs.

Default Where are you getting them?

Also, which H&Rs and Bilsteins? I am looking for a new suspension, too... would appreciate any info.

Default Having the height changed three times on my grooved Bilsteins\H&R's...

I can tell you that I currently have them at 25.5" all around. If I'm not mistaken these are at their highest setting now.

I've had them as low as 24.75" a;ll around and that caused a lot of tire wear on the insides of my front tires - with my current setting, all seems to be fine.

Default What's the procedure for raising or lower the suspension once it's on the car or do you have to take

it all off to change the height? Any complaints with this particular suspension?

Thanks. I can't seem to find the alignment specs on their website. Could you pass along a url?

Default Yes you have to remove them, no complaints here Ryan...

If you want to see what they feel like come by my office/house.
