Default Best coilover for the S5?

So far I've heard that KW V2 and H&R coilovers are decent choices for the S5. What other coilovers are worth considering?

I would deff disagree with that as well. even the ahead part. I have the H&R and have driven the stasis ones multiple times.

We've sold a bunch of the H&R Coilovers, and have had nothing but rave reviews of them. They're comfortable, and offer a nice range of adjustment.

they are all equal is you doing regular driving. however if we talking about spirited driving, or track driving, nothing compares to stasis.

Well when it comes to autmotive and automotive aftermarket products, America isn't quite on the top of the list in case you didn't know.

What kind of evidence/proof/anything do you have? You are currently suggesting that Stasis, a relatively small and unknown company which makes very few products, makes superior quality suspension when compared to well known German brands like H&R and KW. Your opinion doesn't mean ****.

Well im glad to see there is some life to this forum again.
First off, Stasis is not unknown. If you think they are that is because you do not know much about the industry.

Secondly stasis makes many SUSPENSION products. Go to the rs4 page and see what they have in their cars. Its a proven product. Now you bring up German brands such as H&R & KW. Did you ever look to see what springs & dampners stasis uses? Maybe you should, you might be surprised.

As for as my opinion, it doesnt need to mean anything to you, I could care less what you think. You asked a simple question and i gave you a simple answer. The problem is, you are simple minded. Why do you claim an American company cannot make good products. What proof do you have that they are a small company? Your post says "decent choice" KW and H&R are decent choices. There is your answer.
