Another Stasis Motorsport suspension install
<center><img src="http://www.renntek.net/images/rs4stasisinstall.jpg"></center><p>
I just had the Stasis Motorsport suspension installed today and my initial impression is very positive. Colin at Cantrell Motorsports up here in the Seattle area did the work and he's one of the few people I trust to touch my cars (he's very detailed oriented, has high integrity, and always come through on the mark in terms workmanship, time, and cost). Anyway, I directed some pre-sales questions to Jason at Stasis and one of the things he told me was the car will feel 500 lbs lighter. I was sold on the package (thanks in part to a lot of the positive feedback on this forum) but was skeptical about the car feeling 500 lbs lighter part. Well, Jason was right. It feels like a completely different car including feeling much, much lighter.
I sought out some good road on the way home tonight and unlike the stock setup, the car feels flat in the turns and it takes a set almost immediately. No more turn-in and then having to wait a half-second for the car to wallow around before taking a set. Getting rid of this behavior was the primary reason for my wanting to go w/ an aftermarket setup. Mission accomplished. Some adjustments to bump and/or rebound may be necessary because in some of the bumpy turns I encountered, the front wheels did not feel as "planted" as I'd like them but the dampers are adjustable and I need more time to evaluate. So far, I'm very pleased.

I am looking to do the same....
I live in Redmond and am considering this as well. What setup did you go with and can you shed any light on the install cost. Would it be possible to include some pictures showing the placement of the external reservoirs.

Re: I am looking to do the same....
The reservoirs are pretty much hidden from plain sight. I haven't taken a picture, but the following link shows the placement:

I ended-up going with the "Aggressive Street" setup. You can definitely feel the difference over bumps, but it's not too harsh won't be a problem for daily compute driving and long trips. I work in Redmond so if you want to see the car first hand e-mail me and we can setup some time.
