 All this talk about suspension stuff is very interesting. Here's what I
think I'm getting: If you want to lower an UrS6, you need camber plates, or
the thing won't align. If you want the stiffest stock springs, '92 S4 OEM is
the way to go.
 Which makes sort of a problem for me - I'd love to have the car a little
lower - maybe an inch or so. Since I'm not going to be taking the car to the
track, I'm not looking for race-car stiffness. I like the fact that the car
is a luxury sport sedan - and it makes the wife happy. I had my boy-racer
days with my Scirocco, and I don't want to do that any more. :)
 Since my first upgrade is going to be brakes, I figure I'll delve into that
first, but I like to keep my eyes open for used gear that might have life
left in it. Like 2B camber plates on some S-car that might have been in a
rear-end accident, or something. (For instance.)
 Is there a mild combination that I should keep my eyes open for? A little
lower, same ride quality (a little firmer is OK, but not too much more - I
like the ride quality as it stands.)
 Thanks, guys,
