Question About the Stasis Ohlins Setup
I am about to get this kit installed on my RS4 and was wondering if you can share your experiences with this kit in terms of:
(1) What spring type you chose (normal, aggressive street, or track)
(2) What ride height you chose.
(3) The difference in steering, body roll, etc on and off the track
Many thanks in advance!

answered some of these in my post here...
Haven't tracked the car yet, but there's some discussion of that as well. With regards to #2, i left it at the highest setting possible, but haven't had a chance to actually measure it. I'm assuming that there's not a ton of difference between the B6S4 and B7RS4 kit. (although, i could see there being a difference with the likely longer control arms on the B7RS4.)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/420278.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/420278.phtml</a></li></ul>

I'm not too sure what you are asking...
The Motorsport kit can be ordered with different spring rates, however IIRC the one that STaSIS recommends for the RS4 are 800 lbs front and 1200 lbs for the rear. I think STaSIS did their homework and feel pretty confident about those rates and feel it is the perfect compromise for comfort and performance. If you feel these springs are not what you want they will install the springs (rate) you want. You also have the possibility to change the springs once you have tried them on the car. I believe within a certain amount of time after purchase STaSIS will replace the springs for ones of a different rate for free.
The way to "soften" the suspension is by playing with the shock adjustments. STaSIS does provide guide lines for this but by testing on your own you may fine your "sweet spot".
Again for the ride height I would go strictly by what STaSIS recommends. There is a reason behind this. Too low of a car means less shock travel and you get into the shocks bump stop. That's bad for the shock, bad for the car, bad for the ride and bad for handling.
Body roll and nose dive should be reduced with an improvement in overall handling.
Hope that helps you out but I'm sure STaSIS can or will ring in or better yet call them.

Re: I'm not too sure what you are asking...
Jet - Thank you for the response. I think there are 3 settings for the Ohlins Package:
Normal Street 700 lb/in 1200 lb/in
Aggressive Street 850 lb/in 1300 lb/in
Track Setting Call Call
So, I was wondering which setting people out there have tried.
Thanks, again!
