i like the ride feel of the konigs better. the dual adjustability of konigs puts it one step above

Default We've installed quite a few of each. Call us tomorrow and we can go over the differences with you

The H&R are pretty good out of the box. BUT, they don't have any dampening adjustability. We've installed about 2 dozen sets of these on newer A4/S4s. We like them a lot, but we've had about a 20% failure rate on them (meaning 1/5 of them have come back with problems/failures). H&R has been great about sending replacement parts but still, I wonder about their quality now more than I used to.

The FKs out of the box are a bit softer then the H&R. BUT once you adjust KONI made dampeners they far exceed the H&Rs in ride quality. There are two different versions of the FK coilovers. The KONIGSPORT FKs are the best ones. I wouldn't even bother with the highsports unless you are fine with a softer ride. One exciting thing is that once we figure out the whole spring rate thing we will be able to offer CUSTOM spring rate packages. And for those that already bought FKs or have them on order we will be offering different spring rates to them at a generous discount.

Bang for the buck the FKs are the best bet. For LESS than the going rate of single adjustable H&R you get the double adjustable FKs!

You can get more info and pricing (and even order) them here on our soon to be released website -&gt; <a href="http://www.achtuning.com/order">http://www.achtuning.com/order</a>

Default The FKs come a lot closer then H&R BUT nothing compares to STaSIS ;)

Stasis owns ALL.

Default Josh - Any idea on ETA for the custom spring rates on the FK's

The more I read about these coilovers the more I like them.
