No, not to drive, just to be able to move the S4 after it donates its front suspension....

Any other/better idea in how best to make sure an S4 can still be easily moved around?

Tom,

Contact Rob and Jake (Ducman) to see where the chassis dolly is stored right now. Puts the car on big casters, supported at the normal jack/lift pads. It holds the car at the perfect height to R&R the suspension too. Otherwise... A pair of Harbor Freight roller dollies, the kind that normally sit under the tires, will do if you add a piece of strategically whittled framing lumber cross-ways between the front jack points and the dollies.

Don't use the HF dollies, unless your floor is perfectly clean and smooth they are a PITA to use.

Thanks gentlemen - I should have access to side-by-side lifts and now that I know I can just bolt it up to the other one I think I will go that route.

Dolly would be a great option otherwise.

Thanks all!
