Default The ultimate suspension setup in your opinion
I wanna do my suspention soon and still am not too clear in what is the best choice. H&R coils? Koni? And please don't tell me they are all good.. please pick what you would pick [or picked] for your car.

Keep in mind this car is gonna be my regular driver..

Thanks in advance!

Default Vortrag #700 / #800 coilovers. Although not the best street setup
Its a killer Street / race setup. A little stiff, you might want to try 450 / 500. and thats still stiff.

the H&R race springs are like 350 - 300

Im refering to spring rates in pounds.

Default I am replacing my Eibach Prokits with Hyperco 450 / 500 springs next week.
I will keep the Bilsteins.

Never used other coilovers but h&r coilovers are a great trade-off in terms of perf vs ride quality

Default For me (daily driver as well), H&R coils.
Tried KW V2's, Bilstein/Eibach, Stock sport, and settled on H&R coils due to balance between performance and ride comfort.

H&R coilovers on my 2001 Avant 1.8T daily driver was an excellent choice for me.

How are coilovers for everyday driving? Compared to oh, say, H&R Sport/Bilsteins?
