Default stasis.

with enough dampening the ride quality is unmatched. I've driven a couple of different stasis cars, and they are amazing, they just feel so so solid, and so so smooth going over ordinary asphalt. Take them into a corner and they just keep the car completely planted in position.

After driving them I hated my car, such a noticable difference.

Default Street Sport? Track Sport? Motorsport?

Street sport are the Koni Coilovers from what I have gathered.

Default is most comfortable softest to you?

I have heard koni is soft but I just installed a set of FK on a kids car and they are much softer and I don't think the rears are adjustable.

Default tracksport and motorsport

Ideally one would get motorsport. One of the other 2 Stage III cars here in San Diego has tracksports, and the Stage III S4 I drove had motorsports, both of which I loved.

The streetsports are just regular koni coilovers.

Default My H&R coilovers are very "comfortable"(more)

It all depends on what you are looking for... Obviously there is a correlation between performance and spring stiffness... You just have to find the happy medium. The Streetsports are cool because you can change your spring rates whenever if you need to, as opposed to the H&R and others that are factory set. IMHO i think the H&R are perfect if you can get a good price... not too stiff, but they handle awesome if you mate it with a sway bar and other suspension mods...

I've gotten a ride with Koni and H&R and Koni is a bit easier on the kidneys.

Default Koni Coilover are very uncomfortable on bad road

I live in Montreal and the road are very bad here, the Koni ride are very harsh and sometime I hate my car just for that !!

But on good road it's a different story, the ride are comfortable since the Koni Coilover are very good damper.

Are Statis Tracksport or Motorsport are more comfortable than normal Koni Coilover ?
