Default Suspension options question

Okay, so after last Sunday's drive, I'm thinking that maybe my next mod instead of the B & B exhaust should be suspension. MoBlueTT has Koni shocks and Eibach springs, and I really like his ride height and quality, so I thought about doing mine just like his. Couple of questions:

I was wondering how the Audi S-Line compares, so I went to the Audi website, but could not find anything there about it. What is the cost and how does it compare to the Koni/Eibach setup?

I don't think I need coilovers as I don't know if I plan to do any serious track work, and I think from what I've been reading that the advantage to coil overs is that you can adjust the ride height, right?

Default I love my Koni/Eibach setup

coilovers don't just give you height adjustment, but unless you are a track junkie, that's the only advantage you'll see as a streeter/casual enthusiast.

Default Question, Steve

You have said that you used to run Bilstein HD's with the stock springs, and that you really liked the set up. I like the sound since I can keep the cost down slightly. How did that set up affect the ride quality? My woman gripes about the ride now, but will it be unbearable if I only do the bilsteins? Thanks a lot.

Default Actually, your ride will probably improve...>

The Harshness you're probably experiencing will be smoothed out dramatically...I threw my stock shocks away at 5K and IMO the bilsteins on stock springs rode mucho better...
