Default just get KW's and get it over with...you'll be happy...if you decide to get them

go with tunershop.com ask for Steve and tell him Emmy referred you. Very very nice and helpful guy.

I have the V2's. Great investment! Car feels like a sport's car now.

Default Have you considered coilovers from Stasis?

It doesn't say on their website that they have coilovers set up for the TT. On the other hand, if you go into the APR website, they say otherwise.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/sus_stasis_tt.html">Stasis supensions for TT</a></li></ul>

Default I heard their suspension is serious stuff...kinda pricey though..

I had a tuner do some pricing for me and the one that is equivalent to KW v3's would cost $2500.
He claims it is superior to KW though.

I plan on doing occasional tracking so that would suit my needs.

Default I have always wanted to get the Stasis suspension back when I was driving the A4.

Initially, I wanted to purchase the Vortrag coilovers and the Alcon brake kit before they sold their intellectual property to Stasis Engineering. From my intense research on Audiworld, I have never came across an unhappy owner. I was living in the east coast at the time so it was a logical choice to go with Vortrag. However, when Vortrag went under, I couldn't find a shop that I have complete faith in so things never materialized. Since now I am living on the west coast, the Alcon brake kit is back on my wish list. As for suspension, I plan to get the KW V3 as well since there are quite a few happy owners here. KW and HPA formed a joint venture to market the KW suspension in North America. They are only an hour drive for me. Very tempting...

Default One more question...

Is it possible that aftermarket suspension with stiffer springs provide a better ride comfort than oem suspension? I find the oem suspension on my TT a bit harsh on city roads, plus I would like to get rid of the body roll during spirited driving. Is it possible to achieve this with the KW V3? Having the ability to adjust the ride height is crucial since I head up to the slopes in winter. Thanks.
