H&R street coilovers from AWE.
I went with H&R's for several reasons. My basic driving is commuting, and spirited jaunts on back roads. Not tracking or drags...
First, I tried the spring and shock route. Car was to low and way to stiff. Looked slammed and silly.
Read about the coilovers from Andy Hedin on these posts, and they were voted best gear to have in European car magazine.
The moment they went on, I was hooked. The car sits at just the right height. The ride is very controlled, and just slightly firmer than stock. Additional body roll dialed out with Nuespeed ARB.
Two people have driven the car, one immediatly ordered the same setup for his S4. The other liked the height, but wants a stiffer ride.
I did have a few issues with noise from the front, that my installer worked on until it was gone. They also stripped one bolt, which led to some of the noise, and re-tapped the hole and put in a new bolt.
I love the ride so far, and AWE has been great!

Ooohhh...you're in NJ right.
I usually spend time in Iselin once a month or two. BTW, I did get your email. It's just our ISP wouldn't allow my personal email to get relayed. Have to do it when I dialup which is very rare.
