I would be interested in his also - running SS+ currently but looking to drop the front as it's a little high IMO.

For me it would be the Stasis set-up
$3895 + taxes

The installation procedure looks pretty straightforward.

that psi raceline kit i linked to on the last page are better than the stasis kit, here is some info i found...


Why are these more expensive than the Stasis "Motorsport" and "SL" coilover suspension?

In short, because the Öhlins TTX36 dampers are more expensive than the LMJ and CCJ dampers used in the Stasis "Motorsport" and "SL" kits. Retail pricing for the dampers themselves is below.

Öhlins CCJ - $433 Each
Öhlins LMJ - $725 Each
Öhlins TTX36 - $1037 Each

Is your TTX36 kit really that much better?

The Öhlins TTX36 dampers in our kit are technologically superior to the LMJ and CCJ dampers used in the Stasis "Motorsport" and "SL" kits. They perform better, offer a better ride, and last longer than the lower-end LMJ and CCJ dampers.

Öhlins TTX36 dampers are in a different league than the dampers offered by Stasis. This is why we started development with PSi on a TTX36-based kit for our Time Attack A4, and eventually other Audi platforms.

Öhlins TTX36 dampers used in our kits are developed by Öhlins, and widely used in motorsport events worldwide: http://www.ohlins.com/Our-products-n.../TTX36-Inline/

Öhlins LMJ and CCJ dampers used in Stasis "Motorsport" and "SL" kits were developed for dirt-oval racing by an Öhlins subsidiary in North Carolina: http://www.ohlins.com/Our-products_o...tive/Stockcar/

Öhlins TTX36 dampers feature either an "Inline" or "Piggyback" reservoir, which eliminates the need to mount external reservoirs used by the LMJ-based Stasis "Motorsport" kits.

Öhlins TTX36 dampers can be upgraded to 3-way and 4-way adjustable with the addition of high speed compression (HSC) and high speed rebound (HSR) adjustments.

Stasis "Motorsport" kits only offer 2-way adjustability for compression and rebound, without the ability to separately adjust low speed compression (LSC), low speed rebound (LSR), high speed compression (HSC), and high speed rebound (HSR)
