Any pointers to write-ups on that procedure?  I too suffered an HD 
failure a couple of months back and lost all my carefully collected 
BTDTs, HOWTOs and associated links.

Yeah, I spoke with John at RJ Motors and he had a look at the car.  
Since I have to have much of the suspension bits replaced anyways 
(they're all original) and everything's already going to be apart, I'm 
going to get John to put in the Eibach springs I've had in my basement 
for the last two years.  I'm still on the fence regarding which shocks 
to use though.  John's recommending just using new OEM gas shocks for 
the S4 (not sure which brand - forgot to ask him), but everyone seems 
pretty happy with the Bilstein SPs.  What shocks did you end up using?

Either way, since I have the 1517.002 Eibach rear springs with the extra 
coils in the rear, I'll need to have an extra perch groove machined in 
the body of the shock  one centimeter lower to get the rear ride hight 
correct.  Otherwise the car sits with it's back end in the air (
