Mods question - Suspension/handling especially
Okay so I have a 2002 Audi S4 tiptronic (nogaro/grey)
I used to have a BMW 328is (E36). I love the Audi, but the BMW handling felt better. If I take long curves too fast I don't feel very confident in the S4 (as opposed to how I used to feel in the BMW). It feels like the wheels are lifting. I'm not sure if BMWs 50/50 weight ratio had anything to do with it. The car only had like 15" rims too.
Now I'm not sure if I should bother modding the car because of this. If I get new shocks, springs, etc. will it make the handling the way I want it?
Or should I just sell my car to get something different? (I was thinking something light)

what is your problem, exactly? excessive body roll? understeer? both? other? i think
suspension mods can address these issues, but if you want a lighter more tossable car, that could be tough.
