What is the optimal suspension setup for an 04 FWD

[ConroeS4]

What would a fully loaded suspension set up consist of on the A4's. O have never really gotten into the handling part of my car and want to start looking into it. What main components need to be replaced, and is there a kit or kits that offer the best handling for our cars. What kits and etc.
Thanks

everyone will tell you coilovers for optimal....thats not to say there arnt decent spring/shock combos as well
id put an RS4 rear sway on too

Slap on a set of H-Sport swaybars and Stasis Motorsports coilovers and then take some HPDE courses to learn how to max out their potential.

H-Sport S4 F+R sways and Tein SS Quattro coilovers

^^^hahah thats what i was going to say. But really tho since you are fwd a set of sway bars and a quality spring/shock combo would be the best bet. i really cant justify spending a few hundred more for coilovers bc its a fwd.....for whats its worth ive got bilstein hd shocks with tien race springs and its looooowwwwww, and drives/preforms well, but that may just be the quattro

depends on what you mean by optimal. If its a matter of comfort, then thats totally subjective because one person might find one setup perfect and another might deem it to be too harsh. The same also applies for handling.
