Default Updated S4 Coilover Comparison from an old post of mine

Here are some options:

All are <b>HEIGHT</b> adjustable on-car.
All that have <b>Damping</b> adjustments (e.g. Compression &amp; Rebound) are adjustable off-car

Maker: Spring Rate f/r | Damper | Adjustments | Drop f/r

1.) <b>Koni A4(STaSIS)</b>: 420/390 | Koni twin-tube | rebound adj. | 0-2"/0-2"

2.) <b>H&amp;R Streets</b>: 450/450(475Avant) | Gas charged | no adj. | 1-2"/1-1.75"

3.) <b>H&amp;R Ultras</b>: 500/625 | Gas charged | no adj. | 1-3"/1-3"

4.) <b>FK</b>: 480/360 | Koni twin-tube | rebound adj. | 1.8-2.7"/1.8-2.7"

5.) <a href="http://www.intraxsuspension.com/prod_ars.html">Intrax:</a> 445/362 | Gas charged | rebound &amp; compression adj. | 0-3"/0-2.5"
<b>EDIT: According to SPP this kit is not as described on the Intrax site and is in fact a Koni based twin-tube rebound adjustable only kit. An alternative 800/1100 autocross spring rate for this setup is also offered</b>

6.) <a href="http://www.pro-imports.com/cart.php?m=expand_list&c=1-13&flag=1">KW V1:</a> 400/530 ?? | Inox twin-tube digressive | no adj. | 1.6-2.7"/ 1.6-2.7"
(V2 on-car rebound adj) (V3 on-car rebound and compression adj)

7.) <a href="http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php/II=500">Vogtland</a> 670/630 | Twin Tube | Non-adj | 1.2-2.75"/1.2-2.75"

Default I never saw the KW's! Only saw it with the Koni shocks.

Those S4's that I have seen with KW's sit lower than the H&amp;R's...even at max height (somewhere around 25.25" max).

Jeff (if his StopTechs get installed)
Mo and his two buddies...
