KW VII's due to better rear spring design. I've seen collapsed rear springs on both

H&R and Bilstein setups. I had KW's they were awesome. No rear spring problems at all. I'm a big H&R and Bilstein fan as well - but their rear spring designs for the TT quattro are severely lacking.

i'm having problems with my h&r's and LWT had problems with his blisteins.

since h&r is making the springs for bilstein, i'd stay away from both.

the more recent iterations of the h&r's seem to be less problematic, but they're on something like their 8th re-design.

i have a new set of rear springs for my coilovers on order, but the most recent re-design isn't going to be out for a few more weeks.

interestingly enough, they're the same part number... just different build dates.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6767/dsc00846.jpg"></center><p>i had two choices when i ordered my h&r coilovers - sport or comfort - my are the sport variety. for memory i lowered somehwere between 2.5-3 inches. if get them just check that the rear spring looks like the picture i've posted(will avoid the coild bind/collapsing issues a few have reported)
