KW Variant Coilovers vs. Stasis SS

[4Rings3Liters]

Which are better? I'm assuming the KWs because of the difference in price but does anyone have experience. Thanks in advance.

Search buddy, alot of people like the Stasis

[Exanimas]

Yea, but a lot of people are unwilling to spring the extra cash for the KWs. I'd say if you have it, get the KW V2s.

I did do a search and I get a lot of results for Stasis coilovers but no results comparing the two.

[B6Lovin]

i did a really long review on my V2's - just search that if you want to know about them. can't compare them. your best bet is to hit up someone who's in the socal area (or another area with a high AZ population) and see if they've ridden in a few different cars on coilovers and can help you decide.

I have the v1's. Love them, ride really good

[abradley]

stasis ride awesome.
adjusting the rears on the car is impossible.

my 2cents

[TonyD]

I'm going to have to say STaSIS is top notch.

[4Rings3Liters]

I know Stasis is good but where does the difference in price come from? Why are KWs so much more expensive?

[TonyD]

The prices are just made from many different things like research and development, materials used, etc. It's all opinion too. People that have KW will say they are better and likewise with STaSIS. My opinion is that KW is nice, but I like STaSIS better.

Where do you see that the KW V1 are much more expensive then the STāSIS Streetsports?

I'm seeing the KWs for $1200 new and Stasis for $1000 new. There are some KWs in the classifieds for sale and the seller said he paid $1600 for them. I didn't do much research on the KWs because I was sold on the Stasis.

But are the Stasis stainless steel?

stasis ss have gone up in price since this thread was started

[DownhillA4]

Yeah, i've realized that, thanks though. But whichever kit i'm getting I want stainless steel, that's why i'm asking.

If you want a stainless steel shock body you will have to get the KW's. If i was going to look at KW's i would only look at the V2 or V3 since they have dampening adjustability.

My only quam with KW is they spec too soft of a rear spring. The ride quality of a properly set of KW v2 is very good but the handling of the street sports will be a little more balanced when setup properly.

kw > ss

Anybody know the spring rates of the Stasis SS?

[Matt Devo]

Anybody know the spring rates of the Stasis SS?

They are progressive springs so they don't have a single linear spring rate, but the approximate linear rate is about 450 lbs/in for both front and rear.

[EBG 18T]

Anybody know the spring rates of the Stasis SS?

they are progressive and the ~ working range rate is 440-450# front and rear

No complaint's with my KW V1's. Great ride.

Thanks for the feedback, i'm not to worried about the dampening situation because I won't be tracking this car and fine tuning the suspension to be precise. Just my daily driver with some spirited driving.

From what i've been seeing, the Stasis SS are up to around $1200 since this thread was started. Bummer. Although since so many people like them, time for a B6 A4 Group Buy?

[Scrwedtxboy31]

[italian a4 1032]
