Thinking about switching to coilovers

[gotboost]

Riding on NS Sport/ Bilstien shocks right now. Wanna switch to coilovers for hight adjustability, and better handeling. What do u guys recomend, I wanna spend around 1k, and looking for them to have easy adjustaility. Thanks

Was looking at:
H&R
Vogtland
Koni or Stasis SS(really dont know the differance)

Stasis does make by far the best suspension for our cars.

Hows the ride on them, and how easy are they to adjust hight

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^no clue haha, but from what i've heard and seen they are great, they have a great ride.

Vogtland GT's! And there is a GB going on right now too!

I like my PSS9s, but they are much more firm than the Teins I used to have

[akaEsCo01]

There is no difference between Koni and Stasis except the stickers on them. I recommend those or Tein SS, I have had both. Height adjustment is the same on both but dampening adjustment is much better and easier on the Teins. There is more adjustability and you can do them on the car. I loved the ride on both of them though, I have the Koni's on my car now.

STaSIS adds more then a sticker. I would pay the little extra for the STaSIS.

i might have my eibach pro-streets up for sale soon

No they don't. Same shock, same spring, same threaded collar, same everything. They get them from Koni. The 'difference' is that Stassis has them set (height/dampening) the way they think is the optimum for the A4. Truth is, you can do that yourself. I think they set it to 25.5" all around for height (fender to ground) and 1/2 turn front, 3/4 turn rear for stiffness.They charge extra for their 'research'. Seriously, that is the difference. If you want to keep it that way then you benefit...if you change it then save the money and buy Konis.

No they don't.

Yes, they do. They add in a spring perch bearing.

They also charge extra for their warranty and their customer support.

IMO the extra price is worth it just to have STaSIS help you if something were to go wrong. I had a problem with a defective part that I bought from STaSIS one time. No questions asked they sent a brand replacement part overnight across the country. No charge.

Yes, but the parts are all the same...except for the spring perch bearing...which is esentially a 50 cent plastic piece...doesn't really do anything as I have konis and have never found a need for it. BTW...I bought my Konis from SPP and had a warranty issue...they sent me a new one right away, no questions asked...so why would you pay extra for stassis again???
Everyone who has bought stassis will obviously say they are the best as a tein buyer will say theirs is best and vogtland etc...all I'm saying is stassis are konis and if you want to pay for their 'bells and whistles' go ahead but a wise consumer will know they're the same and that's that.

Don't think do it. Whatever u choose man will be good and don't think that u gonna change the height or the stiffness from time to time i have koni on my b5 for the past 2 years never changed any settings i'm bored to do it except u go to track every day and u want maximum performance then u might need to adjust them

I currently drive on Stasis TrackSports, but when they're done (shocks are almost finished), I'm definitely switching to KW V3. I was thinking about the MotorSports, but Öhlins is just overpriced, and marginally better at best.

If you are happy with a reseller of Koni then by all means buy from them. I decided to pay a small price more to deal with STaSIS because of the many companies I have dealt with they were the best.

It's sad but true that many think like that. However, I will be the first to admit when I am unhappy with a product.

As for the OP wanting to be able to adjust height easily, the Koni/STaSIS
coils are not the easiest to adjust in the rear. I found myself dropping the subframe to change the spring height.

OP,

if i were on the market, i would look at what i'm going to use the car for... if your going to track the car then spend the extra $$ and go for stasis or pss10/psss9 since they offer the most adjustability. for street purposes save your $$ and go for tein or something. actually for street, your setup is retty good

How do you feel about the relatively soft rear springs on the V3s compared to your TrackSports (or all other aftermarket suspensions for that matter)?
