Penske/Eibach 800f/1000r, probably raise the height a bit for winter in Tahoe (need to deal with low hanging exhaust too).

the TS are great, but would like some higher spring rates for the track and i think i'm at the limit for them so Ohlins or Penskes.

i'm broke after my wide-body conversion + house purchase so i'm going with the Penskes! ;-)

RS4 setup with 8% stiffer springs and shocks than S4 set up

Home brew adjustable rebound control from the dash

Steering is razor sharp. At the speeds I take my corners at I am not bothered by understeer

Less harsh than stock over noisy road surfaces

Can't decide if I need a stiffer sway bar or not as the car rolls so little

Suspension does not like speed bumps

Its improved handling, not at the cost of comfort (IMO)
