I just bought an 2001 S4 Avant with H&R coilovers. When I drove the car in Colorado it was brilliant but on the Montana roads I'm feeling pretty beat up by the suspension. I also discovered one of the fronts has been leaking.
I'm just using the car as a daily driver and don't do anything fancy.

The dealer's estimate to go back to stock was about $3400--clearly out of the question.
Any thoughts about going back to stock springs with a different type of shock?
thanks in advance,

It would be cheaper than $3400.

if you want it, you can get the stock suspension on the cheap from others who've upgraded.

Andrew C.

yeah, at that price you should go Ohlins or Penske.

...ride height on stock springs is way high. Also, may have trouble finding just stock springs, but you can pickup a complete used OEM setup for a couple hundred. A set of KONI's or Bilstein's are probably around 350 or so.

I don't plan on using it ever again.

Me too. It's the base of the mountain of parts in my basement.

$300 for used stuff.

Given our roads and my age plush sounds better.
I'm going to have the dealer try to adjust the ride height up--initially they told me it wouldn't help/work but I talked to H&R and I might be able to raise the car 1" --
Did you mean Koni's on stock springs?

koni's on stock springs will get you the high ride height and soft damping...
