it's warm and the snow cleared so I filled with 100octane today
I'm not sure exactly which details you're looking for. I'm very happy with the suspension but can't compare it to any other brand. I've only been in two S4s and the first one was the dealer's stock '00.
I think the real value of this suspension is the adjustability. You may not care for my exact setup but that's only a matter of a few "clicks".
I'm using moderate 650/750 lb/in springs while fixedwing uses slightly higher rates. He said the lower damper settings are too soft to control his springs. Similar damper settings with my softer springs seemed OK to me, and make the car ride like a Cadillac.
If I knew I wasn't going full throttle at nearly every takoff I'd set them to the "cadillac" settings. The only negative I can give is the rear springs are not preloaded when ride height is lowered. IF you got airborne for an extended time the rear springs would move around quite a bit.
