Default Suspension question? (Track Build)

I am currently in the process of building out my 01 S4 as a weekend warrior. I have a questions about coilover suspension options. I KNOW I KNOW the Motorsport Coilovers from Stasis are the S***. But unfortunately I only have $2k to spend on coilovers. Here are the 2 options I am looking at: 1) TrackSport Stasis (F700/R800) 2) Tein SS (F895/R559). Which one would you guys suggest and why? Or if you have another option please feel free to advise. Thank you!

I run STaSIS Motorsports, but I used to run TrackSports (700/800). I can't compare to the Tein since I haven't tried them. The tracksports are great at the track, but less comfy on the street. Rear adjustment is not easy - you have to remove the wheel. But frankly, Motorsports are the same - reaching the dial is so hard with the wheel on, it's just not worth it. Front adjustment is dead easy. You can't go wrong with the warranty on the STaSIS units. All in all, I have been quite happy with my TrackSports.

Also, what's with the Tein spring rates? 900 at the front and 560 out back? That ain't right! Is that some progressive rate?

Default IDK but thats why I posted

Exactly what I asked when I saw the tein spring rates. I wanted to know how much of a difference it would make and also wanted to see if anyone on this forum is using them.
