Default Just a tad stiffer/less roll? (more)

Anyone wish their S4 suspension was just a tad stiffer? in other words, not e36 m3(only ridden in one, never drove) stiff but, just a little a bit less body roll, with the same or very similar compliance to those nasty potholes popping up all over in the North East(due to lots of snow this winter)? I've never ridden in an s4 with stiffer springs or a larger anti-roll bar, but i'd think they might limit roll and stiffen too much, no?? i'd love to ride in someone's s4 with a one(or both) of these setups just to see how much ride comfort i'd be trading...if given the chance.

Default yes!

I bought the car with the intention of keeping it stock other then a set of wheels, but after driving the car for a while and driving my Dad's M3, I want to do something....thinking about coilovers or swaybar - dont know the positives/negatives of both.

Default compared to what!?!?! Have you driven a Honda or Toyota lately?

People, sometimes I wonder if some of you have come straight out of slammed Civics...the S4 is softer than a VERY HARD suspension but is LIGHT YEARS stiffer than your average street car.

Default i could not have said it better, when i drove it i thougt it was tight as is...

maybe a bit and i mean a bit of tweaking otherwise perfect for me. but again i dont track any of my cars, while other might.
