Default Coilovers!!

Shox.com has Koni adjustable coilovers $899.00. for A4 Quattro.Check it out / a hell of a deal considering the cost of coilovers elsewhere.

Default This is nothing new...it has been this way for awhile

I still recommend H&R coilovers though. I have driven in a koni coilovered A4 on track for several days. Some people will notice the difference..others wont. If funding is an issue, the koni coilover is definitely an option.

Default What didn't you like about the Koni...

Cause you know people can screw them up by not setting the damping correctly...lots of guys simply crank it through the roof thinking that that's the best setup for serious driving :-(

The H&R's have had a pretty poor track record in terms of reliability as of late...that's why I went with the Koni's. That and people constantly saying the H&R's are very very soft for a Coil Over suspension...which proverbially tend to be firmer than just springs and shocks as it's assumed the target audience is more likely to race. I dunno...what is your unbiased opinion?
