S3 suspension

[ron burgandy]

hi I've fitted H and R anti roll bars front and back and eibach front pro springs to my 2011 S3 sportsback,
It does handle a lot better now
Questions is I'm finding the suspension quite harsh, is there anything I can do next to make the ride more comfortable?

There's always a big trade off between handling and comfort and whilst a good set of coilovers might reduce some of the chop and harshness that sort of adjustment is usually expensive.

Mine is pretty much a spine breaker now.

If your definition of comfort is less stiffness then in short the answer is no.

Did you change the dampers when changing springs? I'm not 100% on this but I guess a damper too soft for a given spring rate would be less comfortable than a damper well matched to the spring rate of the spring it is damping.

I fou d ST X coilovers were a perfect balance of comfort and handling for day-to-day usage. SP are another option too, but I have not tried them.

I am thinking about Bilstein B14 kit to replace the ST, but mainly because I now want more sporty handling

As asked, are you running your standard dampers?

Hi yes running standard dampers which have around 42 000 miles on them. The ride was always harsh but now I dread seeing the slightest bump in the road.
