Hi Guys,
So I had the avant version of the Vogtland coilovers installed on my S4. I went with these cause complaints from searching said they were too soft in the rear = sagging rear springs. Avants are stiffer in the rear (as I've read), so I decided that was the way to go!
After having them installed by a buddy, we both weren't digging the ride as compared to stock. Felt 'bouncy' like as if blown shocks or something from when I was in HS. haha
He said I can bring it back to get it on the jack to see if we need to do some adjustments to help with ride.
Vogtlands are non-dampening adjustable, and I don't believe adjustable either when it comes to side of the front as in being able to screw in the bottom of the strut to shorten the 'length'. I forget what that's called....
But I have the car at almost no wheel gap in the front.
It looks sweet...but rides real bouncy... :(
May have to raise the back a little too.

Another thing mentioned by buddy, my upper control arms need replacing. Could this be the reason for such a harsh ride?
Any suggestions? Bummed with the 'quality of ride' right now....
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Was this (rubber stops, still on one spring) supposed to be installed in the rear?
