I'm supposed to be installing H&R coilovers any day now. I'll take pics.

How does your ride comfortability compare to your A4 with the sports suspension? Also do you have any pics from the side with your springs on?
Replied to your PM on AZ but didn't include any pics, so here's a few:

Looks nice but anyone who is thinking about putting on springs designed for the A4 need to stop and wait for springs designed for the S4. The spring rates have to be different and I would guess the shocks would be different as well.

Just my $.02

Agreed, however there has been some recent speculation that the OEM A4 sport pkg springs are indeed the same as the S4 springs. Myself and the other B8 A4 folks on AZ in that thread know that this can't be possible since the S4 weighs differently than the A4, but ppl looking into it say that ETKA seems to show these two part #s as being the same. I myself haven't checked ETKA because the last time I tried looking up spring part #s, my head almost exploded w/ all the different suspension configurations lol. If anyone else w/ ETKA can look into this and verify one way or the other, it'd finally put the issue to rest.
