Hi Gang,
I’ve a bit of a novice when it comes to suspension, but I’ve been going to a bit a research and I’ve learned a fair amount.
A couple of thread is particular were/are very helpful for me:

I’m looking to upgrade my suspension a little bit. As background I have a 2013 S4 with ADS and sport diff. I’m going to keep the stock dampeners (at least until someone come out with an adjustable set that plugs into the Audi and I can adjust with the stock Audi controls). I don’t plan to track the car.
My goal is to reduce the “push” (Hopefully, that is the right term) on corner entry and reduce body roll.
My plan, for now, is to start with some Eurocode items: Alu Kreuz, Sways and, maybe, the end links (not 100% sure if I need those).
That leads me to springs. I don’t have a great desire to lower my car, perhaps an inch or so, if at all. Naturally, with ADS the popular springs are the KW HAS. However, in my readings, it appears that the KW HAS rear springs are softer than the stock springs.
Assuming that is the case, would that increase the “push” affect I’m trying to reduce? That is my understanding from what I’ve been reading. But, that’s where I’m turning to some more knowledge people to help me understand or, at least, validate my assumption. I realize, that suspension is a multi-faceted game with trade-offs at every turn (no pun intended). Perhaps, the sways help counter act the softer springs? As you can see I’m a little overwhelmed. So, any advice or insight would be appreciated!
Cheers!
