ive ridden in cars that have koni and ive been in cars that have H&R and stasis.

for 1000$ i would go with H&R over koni.

but if youre like me short on modding cash, then koni is perfectly fine.
Well, for starters, H&R will cost you between 1350-1600 depending on which set you are looking at and where to get them.

2nd, I don't know how you can tell how good a suspension is by riding in a car. For me, I like to drive a vehicle to see how well it handles.

konis are the softest ride of the bunch and the most civilized. if you want a set that will handle pretty damm good and not feel like a track car these are for you. more performance at the expense of ride quality will be the h&r,stasis, and vogtland. personally i would go stasis street sport if i had to chose all over again. really just the konis with a better spring perch and rebound adjusted to stasis'es experience.

H&R's are 1091$ from purems and konis are 1000$. so i dunno, personally i would take the H&R. although i do like how soft the konis ride.

emil from rennart use to have them. he still may but i think he switched.

I see, thats a good deal for those.

I would have to drive a car with HR to be able to compare the two. I really like the koni's I have though, but have never driven an audi with the HR setup. I am sure they are a good product, from what everyone says about them.
The koni's I have are fairly stiff, I would not call the ride soft. The car is extrememly responsive and handles like its on rails, the ride is a little stiff but not bone jarring.

You can get Koni's for a little under 800 from the koni website.

Think about bilstein also

I have B12 Bilstein kit. It is good for sporty driving in city, but bad for countryside.
