    Does anyone know of any good coilovers for the B8 A4, specifically from 2010? I want to get a new set of wheels and might as well get some coilovers too. If anyone also has some for sale just let me know!

    I recommend H&R coilovers. ST's on the B8 A4 are really bouncy (not so much for the S4). I bought Solowerks bc they are budget minded. Super pleased as well. Not bouncy. Thats my 2 cents

    I've had KW v3s they worked really well. tons of adjustments. if you're not looking to spend a lot for a lowered ride, go for the v1 or v2s

    Solowerks are well worth the money. have had mine for 2 years and about 35k miles now and they are still great, best budget choice for a daily driver, if you arent concerned much with stiffness, race handling, etc, althought they do handle better than OEM and are almost just as good comfort wise. but if you are looking for more track/performance oriented then ST or KW/H&R are good options but more expensive. but i'm assuming you're most likely looking to just be lowered but maintain comfort, practical daily driving, etc.

    Just had Solo-Werks installed on my B8 avant (2011). Ride is comparable to the OEM sport suspension I had - I don't really notice a difference in ride quality.

    Mine STs will be up for sale after I hose them down. About 5k miles on them. They're for an avant however.

    I have a set of KW v1's and i absolutely love them. Been running them over a year and no issues. Being in the Northeast, I wanted some stainless steel coilovers so they wouldn't rust during the harsh winters. Ride quality is comparable to OEM, you just feel the potholes and bumps a lot more.

    I had Solowerks and switched to Vogtlands. I had issues with the Solowerks having to do with uneven adjustability. I will never go back to Solo's. Others have had much better experience than I did with the Solos so take my feedback with a grain of salt.

    I love the Vogtlands and would do it again. Nice blend of improved handling and stiffness versus stock IMO.

    I also used to have KWs on a BMW 335xi once upon a time and really liked them. IMO you can't go wrong with KW.

    Yeah I've had Vogtlands on my Avant for around 50k and still rides great.

    I have ST's. I think they're pretty good.

    Did you have the sports option? I am looking at the solo week, is yours a bit lower than the sports option?
