I'm trying to decide between the H&R's and Stasis....
I'm looking for something that is easily adjustable as well... How easy are the "streets" to raise in the winter?.. The Stasis Track sport supposedly turn by hand with the wheel off. The Stasis are about 2 grand($$$), the Ultras are $1400 ($$), how much are the streets? ($1,000?).

One thing I know...is that these are about the tenth different numbers for H&R spring rates...
...I wonder if anyone really knows what they really are? Audi could have done real nicely with about a 400f/375r spring combination and a 1mm thicker rear anti-roll bar stock IMO -- the car would still understeer but not plow quite so badly nor dip and dive as bad as it does.

One thing...those H&R Ultras probably ride twice as bad as the Stassis do.
Either get the H&R street coilovers or the Stassis suspension. There's no way I'd put H&R Ultras on a <b>luxury</b> performance sedan.
