B9.5 S4 Suspension

[ILLITE]

IMG_3682.jpg
Hey guys,

I’m starting to seriously look into getting some suspension for my 2021 S4. I’ve researched the forum, but I’m still undecided.

I was hoping some owners who had a more aggressive setup could comment and add pictures of their setup.

I am looking for a more tire to fender fitment with very little gap.

This is far from my first modified car, but I was more into the JDM world before this S4. I’d also like to do a HAS or spring setup to keep the EDC.

I think anything more aggressive, and you don't need HAS. The rears for both the KW and ABT just don't go low enough for what you're looking for.

So you’re thinking what? Full coilover setups? I’m essentially trying to visually see the lowest/best options for non full coilover replacements.

It’s easy to read the inches on the manufacturer websites, but telling how it will actually look is a different story.

I have a 2023 and I’m getting ready to put a set of the racingline s4 specific springs on my car. I had EMD springs on my 2019 and it sat pretty good, but was a little soft in a not so great way. Here are the EMD springs. I didn’t have edc so with that you could use the stiffer setting and you might like them. They did settle a decent amount after putting them on. I’m excited to see how these racingline springs look and feel though.

thanks for the input. I heard some good and some bad on EMD springs. His other products have been great so far.

I added a little more to the post I did. Those are 19x8.5 et30 with 255-35-19 winter tires.

Get a ABT HAS if you want a HAS kit at all. I've had both, and although the rears of either don't go low enough to slam, the KW's are taller in the rear than the ABT's. Was very frustrated when I discovered that. Now on KW V3's though

Thanks for the input! Good to know.

I’ve been thinking of trying Bilstein’s Damptronics. Either B6 with 034 springs or their B16 coil overs.

The damptronic supports the EDC.

I hadn’t even thought of Bilstein yet. I’ll give them a look. It says 50mm of lowering so that’s good adjustability.

If you go the bilstein route check out the new evo series coilover kit. EDC compatible and are probably one of the best kits out there. You can find the part numbers on the European site and get them shipped. May not be available yet. Only seeing pss10 and b16.

3K+ is pricey, you might as well get bags if you want it slammed

I have ABT, and this is as low as the rear will go, there is still about a 1" fender gap:

Also on the ABT kit -

Ben, looks like you and I have identical height configuration

[bwickmans4]

ABT HAS maxed out in the rear with more room to lower the fronts.

19x10 265/35/19

I love the HAS kit for what it is and will only upgrade to coilovers.

H&R VTF HAS went pretty low, but the ride quality sucked.


KWv3's go just as low and the ride quality and handling is amazing.

I'm loving the photo porn that this thread has turned into

After some research, I went with simple H&R sport springs. They are lower than 034 or EMD. It has been great for last couple years.IMG_1559.jpg

OP, you can probably rule 034 D+ out. I wanted ride quality and a minimal drop that wouldn’t rub. It’s like 3/4” drop all around.
