Travis, don't buy that cheap ghetto ****. The way it's designed, it will most likely break the first time you land hard when you catch air on a backroad. Get Konis for $950 and just dial them in youself to Stasis specs. I'm sure you can search/hack and find how many turns clockwise etc for the dampening, or set them somewhere in the middle to firm and do trials. I can give you the height at which you could set the coil perches to have it ride my height, or raise/lower as needed.

If you can't afford Koni, ask manufan how he likes the ones he got. I think they were ~$700. Can't remember the brand right now.

I've heard o ground control before, my friend who is real into the BMW scene swears by them. Personally I would save up for Koni's or Stasis, if koni's are 950 I might get those over Stasis, or if you want to look into Vmaxx, they will run you about 700 and are well respected in the VW crowd and slowly growing in the Audi world (but they are more for looks and less for performance)


my .02 cents, or whatever you wanna call it
