Default What coilovers to put on the S4???

I have decided to put coilovers and a rear stabilizer on the S4 and wanted some advice from the board. Which company is the way to go? I have read about a handful of them but with the knowledge on this board I thought it prudent to ask first....thanks.....

Default Re: From Stasis of course......

So if I go with the StaSis ones should I get the TRACK SPORT STaSIS Adjustable Coil Over Kit? Or do they offer any other coil overs? Why the large increase in price compared to say the Bilstein or other coilovers?

Default I'm wondering similar, but just for shocks/springs

I don't really want to lower the car, so I don't want coilovers. Which shock/spring combos are best? Most people seem to go for H&amp;R/Bilstein... anyone have any strong opinions?

Default If you want the ability to adjust the height to your liking then the Track Sport setup....

...is the one you want. Otherwise, I'd probably just go with their fixed-height "Street Sport" setup.

<i>Why the large increase in price compared to say the Bilstein or other coilovers?</i>

Sorry, I don't have an answer.

Default Stasis has a fixed-height setup as well....

...they refer to it as their "Street Sport" setup.

Default hmmm... I have no real conception of what those spring rates mean

What are the stock spring rates on the S4? I doubt I want to go a whole hell of a lot stiffer, since I am forced to drive on crappy Massachusetts roads (they stopped fixing potholes here years ago).
