Default Which of the three c/o companies in the running for me...

is preferred here ?

H/R PCS
Bilstein PSS9
KW V2

All have adjustability in various ways.
Looking for opinions on ease of tuning first, and how they may feel different if you've owned two or more brands before.

Default I have H&R coilovers, and I LOVE THEM!!!

good balance of firm handling without the teeth-jarring ride.

Default I just got H&R's installed about two weeks ago. .

so far I love the look and adjustability. The ride is a bit stiff, due to the fact that Im running 255/30/19 tires. Other than that I am so glad that I took the H&amp;R coilover route. check my pic poster for some lowered pics.

Default I have KW v1, and Gimp2.7T had (;-() KW v.3. The quality is phenomenal.

Stainless steel shock bodies and very cool aluminum spring perches. You may want to find out what the spring rates are for each since that will have the greatest effect on ride quality.

Default 2 Bennett - Koni based w/infinite (well almost) spring choices...

Made by guys who race and drive Audis exclusively. The wide range of spring rates allows you to dial the car in for the specific type of ride/performance you're looking for. No compromises!

Default The ability to select spring rates is very cool. All other setups just pick a rate for you.

The adjustability of the shock valving is nice, but spring rates have a much bigger effect on day-to-day comfort.
