Default Poll : Suspension upgade - Bilstein or KW coilovers?

Is the ride very hard for both? Alternatively, are there OEM replacements which are comparable (ie light track, decent road comfort)?

.......................There is only one answer..........KW

Depends on which bils you mean, HD are not as adjustable others are far more money than KW

You honestly need to evalauate if you will actually use the adjustabilty features of multi adjustable setups like PSSS9/10, JIC, KWV#s. Most people won't

You get all the ride height adjustment you need along w/ good ride quality and handling from fully threaded Bilstein HD and springs chosen to suit your app.

For the inveterate tinkerer the Multi adjustables are great but a lot more $$

Has anyone replace the dampers with Koni FSDs?

I have them on my Audi - they're a good compromise, but a compromise nonetheless.
