is the S4 lower & the S5 not?

I just said the same thing about my 91 I bought last saturday, vs my '88. LOL, I think it's the ride height playing tricks on you, or the S5 tails, or something. But I know what you mean!

the horizontal line the S4 moldings create is going to add length/width, its an optical illusion.

Looks like the wheels on the S4 have less offset, so it might actually be wider. But thats the wheels, not the car itself.
