Default Anyone want to discuss maintenance issues with the Stasis Ohlin kit?

I'm convinced by the preponderance of evidence that the Stasis Ohlin kit is the best suspension for the RS4 from a performances. But no one has yet discussed the maintenance aspects of the Ohlin dampers. I drive the hell out of my RS4 and will easily put 20K on the car in the 1st year. How many miles does Stasis guarantee that the Ohlins can be run on the street before:

1) Oil drain and replacement
2) Shock rebuild.

You guys who have placed them on your cars, what does your aftermarket suspension warranty say?

Default Contact STaSIS, they will be very helpful when they are making a sale...

after the sale they aren't as helpful.

I say that from experience and after talking to many others with their suspensions.

Default Well, I'd like to see the source and owners actually talk about it here

We have quite a few people who have experience with the Ohlins. If they are advocating them, they ought to be able to talk about their maintaince experiences after 10K, 20K ... 50 K miles of use.

Stasis has been deathly silent on the issue, which speaks volumes of itself.

I'd like to see an honest discussion with positives and negatives about the system.

Default Really, that is not my experience with them. I have been buying products from STaSIS for

3 years and they have alwyas been helpful before, during and after the sale.
