It is for my '97 A4 1.8TQ. I have never rode in any cars with any of these set-ups, so thats why I am asking AW :-)

Default G'damn you 2 :-) I will NOT be tracking the vehicle. So basically best for comfort and lowering

ability. NO TRACKING :-)

Default H&R Sport

I have them for a while now. I believe this is what a real sport suspension should be out fo the factory.

Default Are they worth the $500 more over KONI ones? I would like to have

some money left over for wheels as well. I was just leaning towards KONI's b/c of the price. I haven't really read anything bad about them either.

Default i think they put these teflon based spacers in to make adjusting ride height easier...

...you'd have to call and find out. They come pre adjusted with instructions and recommendations on where to set perch height prior to install to make life easier.

The spacers were in there to help with spring tension when raising. Again though, you'll have to check on all this with them.

The adjustment's coming preset is nice, no need to screw around with getting that sorted. The ride height recommendations will save you hours in the shop if you follow the directions.

Price is good to.
