I've had my 2011 8P S3 Black edition just coming up for two years now, and I love every bit of it with one exception.....I find the ride somewhat harsh and 'chattery', particularly as our roads seem to be more pothole than tarmac these days....so I figure it's time to do something about it!
I've read several posts on here recommending the Eibach Pro kit with Bilstein B4 dampers, and maybe ARB upgrade but all seem to reference lowering, and I'm completely happy with the height of the car. I also don't want to compromise the dead flat cornering when pushing hard, I just want to provide a bit more comfort during daily commute and I reckon a more progressive setup than standard should be able to achieve that. I don't want to spend a fortune, and have budgeted on up to £100 a corner, so that may limit my choice somewhat.
Really interested to hear from people who have achieved good results with the same criteria, ie:

Really interested to hear from people who have achieved good results with the same criteria, ie:
- No change in ride height from S3 stock
- Better comfort at low speed without compromising cornering ability
- Plug n Play setup - I'm not too bothered about adjusting once fitted
- Somewhere within sight of £400
