Cool...thanks for your thoughts and pic.....you mentioned spacers...
I talked with Ryan At STaSIS today...he said they don't have spacers for this set-up any more.....something about Audi having made different versions on the stock spring perches (production changes)....each having a change that dictates the "spacer" that would be right for the car....They would need to have the car there to determine the "right" spacer....well, I'm in Michigan and as most know, they're in Cali.
Curious, does your set-up have the spacers for the rear portion of the suspension?
Thanks....

H&R suspensions have a lifetime warranty for the original owner
wondering what stasis's warranty policy was.
I dont want to have to worry about $150 per corner, ill just get H&R streets new.

I have it at max comfort settings right now for the street.
The fronts are at min settings for compression and rebound. The rears are 3 sweeps from min on rebound. Probably going to go one click on the front compression and see how that feels on the street. The valving is the default Motorsports valving. I have to say, I did the install myself, and accommadating for the rebound adjustment in the fronts was a PIA, but well worth the effort...
Even at the max comfort settings, the car corners so flat, almost no pitching during acceleration or braking, just amazing, totally transformed. The limits on the car now can only be safely explored on the track, can't wait for my next event

Silver is sexier
I have the same setup as 2k2S4.

I completely concur
I love the suspension, it's very comfortable, performs very well, and I haven't scraped on anything in the two months I've had it. I'm very careful about going sideways in driveways and stuff, but still, it's neither too short nor too tall - it rocks!

With H&Rs, I'd want the warranty too. I honestly believe that what I have is a much better
setup than the H&R streets, but for what you'll use them for, the H&Rs should be fine. FWIW, I only know of one blown Koni. I don't know what Stasis' warranty is, but their reputation makes me think they'd take care of a customer.
Your're right though, with the H&Rs, you won't have to worry about $150 a corner. When they wear out, you'll just have to buy a whole new coilover kit. Shocks do wear out and that's where the $150/corner come in (I wasn't talking about blowing one). Just my $0.02, but this suspension kit is the best thing that I did for my car.

Defect vs. wear and tear.
IIRC, both H&R (bilsteins?) and Koni's (Stasis et al) have lifetime warranty on defects. There's no warranty on wear and tear.
Koni's are rebuildable (though expensive to rebuild) when then shocks get old and lose some of the damping properties. And if you're going to rebuild, you can get them rebuilt to have custome damping and you can also get damping adjustments put on too.
When H&R's loose some of the damping, you either live with it or have to buy new ones (H&R probably catastrophically by spewing oil and loosing gas pressure). But it seems like H&R is good about replacing blown shocks. You're still stuck with the labor for replacement though.
