Default It's the same kit you would get from Koni....

STaSIS has considered building their own Street Sport CO kit, but as Ryan said;
<i>"....currently it is less expensive to resell the KONI kit. Perhaps in the future we may make our own Street Sport kit, but not until we can get the price of a custom kit below $1000.</i>

Default It depends on what you really want out of your aftermarket suspension...

OTC Spring/Shock combos have never been my favorite, but they are decent. I have always prefered CO's, maybe even a Cup Kit, basically a suspension kit that has been R&amp;D'd as a set. And of course the height adjustability of CO's is a big plus. I want to be able to get the height that suits me and be able to adjust it - if necessary. I don't like having only one height option.

The STaSIS/Koni CO set up does sound nice though for the price (similar in design to KW V1). Talk with STaSIS about any qustions/concerns you might have. I don't think it's a lot more to pay for CO's, compared to spring/shocks, to also get height adjustability.

Isn't Eibach sort of like OEM? It's been a while since I used aftermarket spring/shock combos. There are so many of them that I would have a hard time choosing too. Bilstein/Neuspeed sounded good. Or Intrax/Koni. Also Vogtland has both. Even KW makes separates.

Default the KONI shocks I am getting are atleast height adjustable

I want something that is street oriented, no track plans. Both as a set, I am getting them for a good deal about $300 off Stasis COs. But your right, its a good deal to pass off. I will do some HW over the weekend.

Default How are the Koni shocks "height adjustable"?

I only know that they are dampening adjustable (you have to remove them, compress and turn "click", to attain a softer or firmer ride). Springs are only different in terms of "spring rate" and either linear or progressive design. The only shock I know that has a height adjustment is the Bilstein (3 level choices for front only I think).

There are "street" oriented CO's; Oetttinger, ABT,.. and probably this STaSIS/Koni kit. My H&amp;R are not totally for track, but they are slightly firmer then the first two I mentioned.

Default my bad i was mistaken, but with the searches I have done on AW

I think the Eibach/Koni generally get good reviews. COs, in my opinion, is just 'overkill' for street use and no track plans.

Default actually i think the Koni c/o's are similar to the KW V2.

height adjustable front and rear. rebound adjustable front and rear.
