Default Bilstein B16 Ride Control with IRC - Your thoughts?

Hey Everyone!

So I've had my eyes set on getting the H&R Coilovers for my A3, but then after doing more research, realized they do not have adjustable damper setting which I really want considering I want to have a weekend track car.

After researching more, looks like we really only have a handful of options for this chassis thus far and have been drooling over the Bilstein B16 Ride Control setup. This gives you a button to press that then allows you to basically have "drive select" type options, going from comfort mode or sport mode. I could then actually use the center console button to be the switch since there are so many empty banks.

All the reviews I've read have nothing but positives to state. Then I came across the IRC controller which has Comfort, Auto and Sport mode. The IRC has an accelerometer to adjust the settings automatically and on the fly.

The system is NOT cheap, but feel like I will be very happy with them. So my question is... Has anyone on this forum had any experience with them? Do you think they are worth the price and would you get them? My goal is to basically get my A3 to S3/RS3 suspension territory.
