mmmmmm, TOP quality bike stuff, I know that - imagine the kit for 4 wheels is as good. Not cheap though.

Stasis have Ohlins produced kits. Look really good and as has been mentioned, top quality stuff.

Absolutely top notch stuff, and well known on the Jap scene aswell for excellent, and probably the best you can buy

But isn't a bit of overkill to spend that sort of money, depending on what your going to be using your car for?

As said Stasis have worked with Ohlins for their kit, so if you've got your heart set on Ohlins, then go Stasis, and maybe save some money

Are you planning on getting a kit made up from scratch for the B5?

and considering the capabilities of our cars i think an ohlin set up would be very beneficial for all types of uses....

No doubting Ohlins quality but from what I've read there have been reports that the Stasis kit for the B5 RS4 is noisy (ie knocking) from the rear. I think that Lucas at MRC has / had (?) this kit on his car. Maybe worth a call?

Was that not only with the race (track) kit with the solid rose joints rather than the road version which has rubber bushes??

Ollys is spot on, Lucas has got Ohlins fitted, apparently they are remotely controlled from either the bulkhead or the interior- bumped into a chap in a Daytona Yellow, ex Kim Collins car that also had an Ohlins set-up- he said is was good but as mentioned above, noisy.
Got to honest, I cant recommend The Bilstein PSS9 setup highly enough- and Doug has extensive knowledge of the setup and specced mine up perfectly straight out of the box.
Have Ohlins on one of my bikes too-very plush so assume their car setups with also be the mutts nuts- at a price!
Good luck
