Jeremy,

Specifically, what components (new diff and suspension, is that it, 2K?) would I need to buy to make a stock B5/6 S4 handle the way you mentioned above? In addition to that I would like to be able to adjust the overal ride height of the vehicle for my winter travels. Perhaps adjust it myself.

Oh yeah, so you're driving a 450hp B5 S4 daily, that seems plausible. Locally AMS tuning could to that for me without any problems. The question is: when you're driving on a track, tight road coarse or canyons do you heel and toe? Do you still like the B5 interior, anything you wish you had in the car?

Thanks
Well, I'd start off with either of these;

STaSIS TrackSport coilover kit for B5 A4Q; 4 STaSIS custom-valved KONI dampers; double digressive damping; single adjustable (rebound), wide band; adjustable while installed on vehicle; silver chromate plated threaded steel damper bodies; height adjustable; 4 STaSIS custom lower spring perches; 2 STaSIS custom upper rear spring perches; 4 linear rate Hyperco springs; 450 lb. to 1000 lb. spring rates; balanced and adjusted on SPA damper dynamometer
$1895

STaSIS MotorSport coilover kit for B5 A4Q; 4 STaSIS valved OHLINS dampers w/ external front reservoirs, double digressive damping, external damping adjustability (comfort & performance), adjustable while installed on vehicle, lightweight aluminum threaded damper bodies, height adjustable, 4 linear rate Hyperco springs, 450 lb. to 1000 lb. spring rates, balanced and adjusted on SPA damper dynamometer

Then, after that, do diffs.

STaSIS clutch type rear diff for A4
$1895

STaSIS 4:1 Torsen center diff
$550

How much do you want to raise it from where it'll be lowered(it'll be lowered about 1" below stock)?


450hp in your A4?

Heel and toe is great.

Anything I wish for in the B5 S4? Recaro's like the B6 S4 perhaps. More power at times(you get used to it). And less traffic around here of course.

LMK if I can help to answer any other questions.
