Default What suspension do you Bay Area S2k drivers use?
Just wondering what you Bay Area S2kers are using for suspension? I know there are some bad roads in the BA especially on the 101 and in the city. What is a coilover system you guys would recommend for keeping the stock ride quality as much as possible while on 17s and 18s? I am running 19s and H&R/Bilsteins on my A4 now and let me tell you.. the ride is HARSH! Trying to stay away from that.

Dude Ken, you disappeared from AZ. I knew you were hiding out here! Of course keeping the A4 =) . Just doing some research. By the way, how much is that Ohlin setup and how does it ride? That thing much have cost a fortune! If I was getting C/O, I would want to lower it to 1 finger gap too!

I had the H&R/Bilstein setup for my B5 S4. Ride was pretty nice yet firmer than stock. But I wasn't running 19". Get the Ohlins like Ken. Baller status.

One of the top 3 IMO... You would have to get lower Swift spring rates if you want a near OEM feel. Even then, it may be to much for you.
