Default APR/STaSIS Street Sport Suspension...

<center><img src="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/images/stasis_suspen_street1.jpg"></center><p>for those of you riding on these, how is the ride? i want a close to stock ride but with lowered look and increased handling... however i dont want to do coilovers which will compromise the vehicles ride simply for looks and a tad bit better handling... i do not want to go springs route, but i guess its an option if need be. any one have any thoughts on these or recommendations? pros cons??? any photos???

Default thank you, i appreciate it...

one last thing how are bumps, potholes, cobblestone roads etc. with these? a buddy of mine had a set of cusco coilovers and it made me nauseous... everyday driving was next to impossible, each bump hit my stomach/kidneys hard... i dont want to go through any of that with this... (secondly i have a huge problem, my driveway leading into my garage is a decline driveway and i already scrape entering and exiting the garage, is there a way to lessen the scrape or avoid it when i lower??? when i had my a4, i had the stock sport susp. and it rubbed then i got eibach prokit, and it rubbed but when i put 18's on it stopped, is this the only solution? bigger wheels?)

My advice would be ... stay with the stock suspension.
