Default S4 A4 Compatibility

Will the suspension from an S4 fit an A4? What could be the differences? Will it lower my A4? Is it adjustable?

Search will answer it, but I will too since it's late and I'm bored. It'll bolt right in. It'll lower your car very slightly. I have only the S4 springs on my A4 non-sport struts, and it lowered the car about a finger-width. With the sport struts it will likely come down more (this is assuming you have a 2.8 - if you have a 1.8T you're going to sit very high - your front end is nowhere near as heavy as an S4's front end). The S4 springs are meant for a heavier front end so the front will sit higher than the rear. The springs (again, all I can vouch for) give a GREAT road feel - firm but not punishing, great turn-in and response, exactly what the car should feel like. It is not adjustable. And the S4 sway bars will bolt up as well, and make a nice difference.

yes s4 suspension will fit the a4 but only the V6, the s4 suspension was made for a heavy v6, the 1.8t would kinda end up raised a bit in the front, i have S4 suspension and its a bit stiffer but dosent really lower my car or anything.
