a4 b5 sedan 1.8t/ daily driver track wkd-

again, i know, but need some imputs. i'm pretty sure my choice is set on stasis tracksport 600/700lbs over pss9 or kw v3 but some other thing bug me a little. How come SL stasis/ohlins are not availlable for theses car? are the SL stasis/ohlins dampers a big difference over the tracksport stasis/koni one?

thanks, yves

p.s: hope i dont regret not going pss9 or v3..

Hi Yves,

How many times a year will you be tracking the car?
Do you want to be able to adjust damping at the track?

Ok Yves.

I've never driven on the KW V3's so I can't comment on them but many clients track their cars a lot and are very happy with the PSS9's. Sadly Bilstein won't be producing PSS10's for the B5's(probably too old a chassis now for them to release a new product).

Of course if you could swing a bit more money, the STaSIS/Ohlins Motorsport's would be the ultimate setup for 5-6 track days a year. These would allow you enough "room" to make a lot more changes than the V3's/PSS9's and you'd probably never overdrive the suspension(whereas with the V3's/PSS9's you may find that you'd be tracking on the firmest setting fairly soon and then have no "room" to go firmer---whereas you would with the STaSIS/Ohlins MS'). Everyone that has gone with the STaSIS/Ohlins MS' has commented "Why didn't I do these earlier? They're truly the best of both worlds"(comfort and race).

STaSIS doesn't offer the Ohlins SL's simply because the B5 chassis is too old at this time so the R&D work for the SL's would be cost prohibitive (whereas R&D for the MS's was already done long ago).

Let us know how we can help. We're always willing to offer the best deals we can.
