Default Our springs are linear rate and the SL kit is intended to be a street kit only

it still kicks *** on the track!

does that mean that MS > KWv3 > SL?

Default probably depends on what he is looking for. MS trumps all IMO....

even for folks looking for a street comfort coilover only bc that Ohlins technology can allow the car to ride smooth yet kick *** at the track. I'd be the type to want the SL next bc it is more track oriented then the KW street series but I can see someone else picking the KW lineup too. As Craig said, you probably need to drive them both and see what's best for you.

Default i'd be the first in this country to run aftermarket coilovers on the rs4

so no chance of me getting a test drive on either. There's a group buy going on for the KW v3s now, and it works out to around USD1.6k per set, compared to USD2.5k per set for the SLs.

Have heard nothing bad about the SLs to date, though some people here have said that the KWs are incorrectly sprung.

Not planning to track the car much, if at all, in the next couple of months, so I'll need to continue to monitor the situation.

My heart says SL, wallet says KWs, and common sense says to leave the car the heck alone until the DRCs die on me
