I had em at 24.8" front, 25.3" rear, but I raised em up some. May go a little higher even.
I really would like them at about 25.5" front and rear. Wife is still around for now

Question for you on those H&R coilovers.. My coilovers are making a lot of clunking noise!!
I just installed H&R coilovers today and setup the car 25.25 all around.. When I first drove the car the front suspension makes a lot of noise.. Everytime I go over a bump I the front suspension makes loud clunking noise? Do you have that on your setup also? Thanks!<p><font color="#000081" size="3"></font>

I guess I never noticed. They do make noise over bumps though.
They make a good thump over larger asphalt cracks, but they seem to absorb the bump well. I guess now that you mention it, they are louder then stock. They don't make any squeks or rattles like others have mentioned, though. I really like them so far, but my wife doesn't......she's used to driving a squashy jeep grand cherokee.

My wife noticed them, she thought it a little stiff too. I have 25.5"F,25.25"R. I like them a lot.
After we got on the highway she thought the S4 rode a lot better. It's little road irregularities and bumps at slow speed that make lowering annoying. The coilovers make highway cruising much better though. We rode around in a friends Maxima the other day and she said my S4 felt more "secure" because it doesn't float around so much at high speed. After that statement I won't change back.
