S4 suspension



I have a '92 S4 Quattro.  I love the car.  However, I recently moved to the
Bay Area CA from Oregon.  The roads here are behind in repair, very rough.
I had the ABT bilstein suspension from Joe Hoppen.  The ride was too harsh
and the car sits to low.  Suprisingly I put the old 92 suspension in the car
and it was still to harsh.  I bought  '94 S4 shocks and springs, but now the
roll stiffness doesn't seem to be tuned to the shocks and spring
combination.  I feel every bump with a delay through the suspension.  I took
of the rear swaybar and that seems to help.  The next step I'm contemplating
is reducing the '92 antiroll bar diameter from stock 29mm to 100cs 25mm and
adding S4 Eibach springs to slightly lower the car and increase the spring
rate all around to compensate for the antiroll bar change.  

Has anyone out there gone through this mess.  Please help, I want to save my S4.
