Default Raceland Coilovers

Raceland sells coilovers for like 350$ for the B5 A4. I was wondering if they would work on a B5 S4? Do they have the same suspension?

If so how is the ride with them? Because I dont really want it any stiffer than stock I just want it to look better.

If none of that is there any other brands that will give me what I want for around that price?

Thanks for any input you may have!

raceland sucks. if you want stock ride quality and a lower stance get the vogtlands, st coils or kw variant 1's.

Im thinking about racelands also because my suspension is pretty much shot. What do you not like about them? Thanks

Have to worry about weight. The A4 front end is much lighter than the S4 (I would imagine anyway) so the suspension would have to be set up for said weight difference via spring rates and such.
I see people selling suspension bits for A4/S4 all the time. No way I would buy something described as such. Just because it fits doesnt make it ok. Just my opinion though.

ridiculously stiff ride and the shocks blow in a heart beat. you get what you pay for. there is a very good reason these are cheaper than buying shock/lowering spring combos. the cheapest safe option for coils is seriously ST or vogtland. st is like $799 shipped. the raceland and vmaxx coils are crap.

X2 on everything Sidewaz said as well.
