[s-cars] Koni setttings on '92 S4?

[smarinello at charter.net]

I have my Koni Sports set at 50% on my '95 S6 with '92 springs, 16" wheels with Pilot Sports.  A very enjoyable combination and much more compliant than my '95.5 avant with Eibachs and Bilsteins.  

All the sedan really needs is a HSRSB, but it's going to be sold sometime soon, so only the avant will get one.
