They just happened to have a set of KW Variant3's in stock. I figured if I was going to pay for the install I might as well go all the way. Here is a before picture:

I am waiting for them to settle before I nail down the ride height. The rear will probably be raised about .25 to .5 inches. The ride is as soft as stock. I also need to increase the rebound damping some, but it is not too bad right now.

I also installed the HSports. Have not had a chance to push them yet, but in the few corners I did take the car was more neutral. Once I can do some big sweepers I will give more feedback.

Ha ha, Group5 got you to step up. Nice, they are big on KWs. Looks way better. V3s are awesome. I gotta get a ride sometime.

Just let me know when. They actually told me that they did not have any at first, but then they dug some up.

School is crazy right now and I work so I don't exactly have much free time at the moment. Though, hopefully next week I will be getting my lowers painted and Sportec front installed. I have a SS lying around here too.

If I get a break from school and work anytime soon I'll let you know. If not, schools out in a month, so I'll have a lot more free time then. I have never even sat in an S4 before.[eek]

Bad ass, I really need a ride in that one. I am still tossing the Stassis kit around in my head. But it's either Stassis for the Audi or my Turbo for the Miata. Miata would be much faster when its done and I already have coilovers in it. Hmmm...

Let me know when. I have not been to the steakhouse yet. Robbie's Roadhouse in Leucadia is great as well if you like his food.

Also, I will get some daytime pics today so that everyone can really see it. I hit some big sweepers today and the sways make a BIG difference. On low speed corners there is still some push.
