EDIT: Typo, should be C7, not B7!

I tried my brother-in-laws 3.0 TDi S-Line Quattro yesterday.

I quite liked the car, it felt solid and quiet, but the ride was a bit firm for me: S-Line on 20's!

So, a few questions!...

I presume an SE would have a less firm ride?... but I don't want something that's "wallowy" it needs good damper control.

As there aren't many 3.0 TDi (or my preferred BiTDi) in SE spec about (most being S-Line or Black Ed), would a suspension swap do the job?... say Bilstein B4 dampers and Eibach Pro springs?... and, I'm thinking an S-Line or BE would be more highly specced too!

If going for an S-Line/BE, are there any issues with downsizing wheels from 19/20 to 18's?

Any help/advice greatly received.

Cheers
