yes.. same part number.. I'm using them now..
It's always worried me though that they are not different. I mean the weight distrobution in a S4 is much different that an A4. They work fine for me, but then again I don't track the car every weekend either.

H & R Ultras are the same way, though the H & R Streets have different
models for A4 vs S4.
maybe once you get into higher spring rates, the weight variation in between A & S is less of a factor?
the KW is between the H&R Streets & Ultras, iirc.

Well it totally depends on how they are installed...
It uses some sort of adjustable shock (koni probably) so it depends on how you set it. Another thing is in order to adjust the shocks you have to pull them out all together to adjust. This can be a major PITA if you need to adjust them. I set it very hard and adjusted them very low. It's very stiff and the ride quality is harsh. However, I do not rub, and it gave me the look I was after. I have no idea how they perform on the track as I haven't tracked the car since I put them on. hope that helps..

height sure.. rebound no way..
you have to pull the entire shock out and push it all the way down and twist to adjust. It's a major PITA. More like adjust once before put them in, then probably never again..

yes, KW uses Koni shocks in their V2 kit. i've heard that the V1 shocks aren't Koni.
