Default Suspension Question

I am getting ready to purchase some coilovers, but i have no clue who to go with and where to find the best deal. APR has (STaSIS / Koni Street Sport Coilover Kit for 96-01 B5 A4), but then everything I read tells me to go with Bilstein PSS-9 Coil-Overs. I have no clue?!?!? If the PSS-9 are that much better I would rather spend the money. Also, does anyone know where the best deals can be found? One more thing, how difficult is it to adjust them (winter to spring, snow to no snow)?

I was originally going to go coilovers to adjust them higher for winter, lower for summer, but that would be a real pain to adjust the height, w/ salt and other crap not working to your advantage.

Meh, adjusting the height wasn't a big deal for me... I did it when I switched to my winter wheels... probably added about 40 minutes to the job. 40 minutes of my time... is worth it.

Even in Minnesota, i still have yet to get stuck w/ the car lowered and running blizzaks in the winter. I feel safer driving in snow or ice w/ the Audi than the Jeep.

Am I really going to adjust the coilovers, as oppossed to getting H&R springs and Bilstein shocks. i would think dropping the ride 1.25" to 1.50" would be an aggressive and good looking stance, but I am nervous for that one huge snow and I cannot get anywhere. Here in Ohio they hate to plow, so I am bit nervous to buy non-coilovers.
