Default H&R coilovers are definitely more performance oriented.

To me that means more controlled ride...which would be my preference.

Default yes. coilovers are the way to go. my A4 is very neutral with the 19mm Neuspeed rear bar on soft for

daily driving with some sprinted driving mixed into it.

I raise the rear tire psi to get a little more oversteer at the track.

Default depends what you want...

after playing with a fixed height setups, I'm getting the MP H&R coilovers just for the performance. I don't care about height adjustablity so much. I'm jsut setting the height once and leaving it. I think H&R A4 coilover w/ a 19mm rear sway is the best setup I've ridden in so far. S4 coilovers on an A4 are probably even better and the MP coilovers even more so. Ride harshness will build up a bit going to higher spring rates, but to me it's ok. To some it's too much. Stasis stuff is supposed to be a good comination of high performance and comfort as well. They have setups with sport valaving and setups with less agressive touring valving. I suggest going with the coilovers if you are looking for a lot of performance. Go fixed height if you want a lower look with a little bit more performance. THe best idea yet is to find someone local to you and get a ride to get some first hand info. Try as many setups as you can before you buy if possible.

Default Yes excellent product...I have them...also consider Stasis now their products are excellent...

At the time when I got my suspension H&R coilovers were the best out there...now if I was to do it again I'd go for Stasis...

Can't go wrong with H&R though...I'm very happy with my set-up...
