[BiturboS4] Euro springs

[S Stiles]

What I mean by front-end "float", is that the front of my avant seems to be
(relatively speaking) more softly sprung & damped than the rear. Gives the
impression of the car rotating around an axis of the rear wheels after
hitting a low-frequency bump.

Our Sedan doesn't exhibit this behavior, strangely.

Scott.
