Default I want a better suspension! But is it easily reversible? (DRC)

I've browsed through the instructions for a few different suspension setups... basically I see that all of them provide you with caps for the DRC lines and instructions of how to shut the system down.

What I'm wondering is that when I go to sell or trade-in my car at a later date, obviously I'd like to either reactivate the system myself or have the dealer do it. I'm assuming it'd have to be the later since nobody will sell the fluid except to a trained technician.

Let me know! I'm looking for a fresh ride-height this summer and better handling.

Default OHLINS SHOULD BE YOUR ONLY CHOICE, CONTACT JASON AT STASIS

the process is easily reversible, not that the car would be worth more with it off, unless trading in. I have used it on three of my personal cars, there simply is ZERO comparison to stock.

Default I think I'd want KW V3's. It seems like a much more full-featured coilover vs. the low-level Stasis.

Your post seems a bit "spammy", although I do appreciate your input.

Would you care to explain WHY you've had it on three of your vehicles, or is it just something that's been a default and now you write blind recommendations?<ul><li><a href="http://www.kw-gmbh.de/kw_upload/Einbau/eah68610051.pdf">Instructions, scroll down for English and pictures of the reservoirs, etc.</a></li></ul>

Default I don't think you understood his point. The Ohlins set up is/was the top set up from STaSIS...

Now STaSIS came up with a second less expensive Ohlins set up, the SL.

However the MotorSport set up is still the best suspension set up for any Audi bare none. I'm not even sure the KWs would hold up to the SLs.

Default I don't think they make car specific systems

I wouldn't be surprised if the S4 setup is the same as a the A4.

Different spring rates on the S4... Just a little stiffer than the A4.
