Default b8 s4 stock shocks

Does anyone know what the stock shocks on the b8 s4 are? I'm assuming they're just re-branded, but I could be wrong.

I'm looking for shocks that are softer, not harder. Replacement OEMs are an option, maybe my current shocks are just shot. I'm also looking at Koni FSD's, and I'm open to other options. And air ride suspension would be sweet.

stock supplier is Sachs, custom valved for each application.

Why'd you buy an S4 for a soft ride?

Get an A4, save money.

The A4 does not come with the 3.0T & DSG. A better solution is to get an S4 with ADS. I have been looking into getting the FSD shocks, but they are back ordered.

Currently I have KW Street Comfort coilovers, with shock adjustment halfway between nominal center & full soft, rides better than stock and handles fine. Pavement around here is brutal, with many buckled seams.
