    Coilovers closest to OEM ride/comfort

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just wondering is there a general consensus for a recommended suspension that's closest to oem ride quality for coilovers?
    I know Bilstein are highly recommended but can be on the pricey side including H&R setups

    Any recommendations on the lower side?

    Solo-Werks, I believe are most similar to stock for a cheaper option. I have ST's. They're firmer than stock, but still nice to drive on.

    KWs, I made a mistake of following their recommended setting and only turn it 1 click higher (firmer). Feels too soft, same as oem s4 suspension feel but with a much lower ride height..

    I have ST coilovers on my A4 and I'm not happy at all with the ride comfort.

    Obviously nobody read his post he said closest to OEM none of the setups mentioned so far are even close to oem ride.

    KW street comforts would be the best setup for what he is looking for.

    Kw's had problems with rear spring sag... maybe their lesser quality st coilovers may be better... either way a quality setup will ride better them oem.. you don't necessarily trade all comfort for better performance...
