Car Info: 05 Audi S4... trying to mod the driver!!!
within a couple of weeks I will have a set of Tein Flex coilovers with the EDFC.... I have had them on my car for about 4000 miles and am going to try a different type of suspension.. I am looking for $1400. Making a few assumptions... if you did not change the ride height then they would retain the corner weighting I had done on them for a sedan.
let me know.

I'll be selling my JIC's in about 3 weeks. I have had them for about 1 year. $850. Read up on them though. they handle great but are not a "plush" coil-over. you must like it firm to run these

GM6 : WHAT are you looking to do here? Be honest with yourself, as I see folks spending too much $$$ to end up with something that doesn't do what they REALLY want......just so they can say "I have coilovers" 
Just a lowered ride? If so, change springs and be done with it.
Better handling, while still "somewhat" comfortable? Then something with fairly mild spring rates
All-out handling, ride be damned? Well, the JICs that stratos is selling fit that bill. BTW, I paid about $700 more than that for my (new) JICs last December, aka this is one screaming deal!

Fock that. If you are going suspension, then go suspension!
Something about TEIN that I like...they are a SUSPENSION ONLY company. I love my RA's...but they aren't for the faint at heart!
Springs is a 1/2 **** job...why not do it right and get a set of quality coil overs?

quik question about sedan vs wagon coilovers. This guy i know is parting his wagon out and has cusco zero-2's. I know stock spring rates are different from wagon vs sedan but are aftermarket coilovers the same? I really want to get these for my sedan.
