They do not have any coilbinding problems that some kits may have.

Default I have them. I've ran them at the track 3 times and haven't noticed any problem.
By coilbound I assume you are talking about them bottoming out? I haven't had a problem with that. I lowered my car overall about 1-1/4". I have left it a little higher to allow for travel at the track.

Default I was looking at them on your site actually. Do you have a pic of the rear springs?
I also want to know the ranges of available adjustment.

The specs page only says:

"
Year Vehicle
2000 - 05 Audi TT Coupe/Roadster Quattro
2003 - 04 VW Golf R32

Koni coilovers feature adjustable ride height and adjustable rebound damping.
All Koni products feature a limited Lifetime Warranty.
"

I would like a bit more info.

Default Did you go to those from stock?
Comments on the ride (for street use) would be very helpful. Thanks!

Default Yes I went from stock to the Koni's. My stock shocks were allowing too much body roll
It rides stiffer, but that is a mere adjustment of the rebound. I have mine set front and rear about 1 full turn. There is about 1/2 turn left to go, I've tried it there but it is like riding a hay wagon down a rutted road. I usually dial in the last 1/2 turn at the track, but for around town the setup I have feels pretty decent.

Default do you run the rears at full stiff on the track?
for both auto-x and track events, i've left my rears alone at about 50-75% stiff, but i bump the fronts up to almost full stiff.

Default I don't mess with the 60-70% setting on the rear.
Primarily because you have to completely remove the rear shocks to make an adjustment. I am pretty happy with the setup as I have it now.
