I have Stasis. In my opinion, worth the money if you are going to keep the car long term. Stasis also performs a 25,000 service on the Ohlins dampers in connection with the scheduled Audi service.

Hey boiler, do you know exactly what is done at the service for the dampers? I'm thinking of getting some... just this "they only last for 2 years" bit is bugging me for 3k worth of suspension.

The A5 community has been very happy with KW V1s and V2s, so those should be a serious consideration.

so right now i guess im deciding between H&R and the KW V1's but the V1's doesnt lower it as much as i would want to go because my ride is kinda of sitting high right now.. i have 19x8.5 wheels and 255/35 tires.. any other suggestions on coilovers for a good price? id love to go with stasis but its a bit out of my range and i will only be having the car for 3 years till i get a new one.. im seriously considering H&R but have to do more research.. has anyone heard anything bad about H&R?

Hmm... interesting. I'm pretty sure the KW V1s will allow you to go pretty low. Low enough to be rubbing w/ 255-series tires on dips at least.

I've heard good things about B&G coilovers. Unfortunately they have not come out with a set for your newer model A4 - so I guess that doesn't help much.
