Default H & R Sport Springs & Bilsteins verses H & R Coilovers

Would welcome opinions re the above two suspension set-ups for an A 4 1.8T Q used as an everyday driver.

Thanks

You will feel the road a lot more with the coilovers than with the sport setup, the coilovers are ride height adjustable, the sport setup is not.

that's my 2 cents

Default I would go with the KW coilovers...

Best of both worlds. Ride height and quality adjustable! If you want to be a racer now, but then decide you want it a little higher and not so stiff next month, you can make that decision without buying a whole new set! If you have the money definitely go with the coilovers. It really comes down to what you want to do with the car? You going for looks? Do you want your daily driver to be able to be a rally car? you have to sacrafice something somewhere....

Default If you go w/ coilovers remember....

...that if you ever decide to change the ride height from it's initial setting, you will have to get the car realigned every time. Keep this in mind before you make a decision.
I am currently having ther same internal debate. Let me know how it goes.
