I found the H&R springs too harsh and we also ran aground a fair bit on back roads. The Coilovers are a vast improvement. I would say better than stock.

I'm pleased I did the springs first so I could tell the difference but the ride was way too harsh. More so for the passengers than the driver.

Manor50 is kindly giving me a demo ride tomorrow evening in his S5 just so I can be sure before digging deep for the KW's. I don't think there will be any doubt though.

Its a forgone conclusion. You will be down to APS to buy. The coilovers are so so so much better. Its not just comfort but also road holding.

I hope your car was clean Reb.

Now I am a happy A5 owner again.

Whilst I don't think the ride is as smooth etc as the stock system, it's very close and a vast improvement on the H&Rs.

The general feeling is that the KW V2 is probably just a bit better than the stock option on an S5. So, with an A5 you would probably notice the difference in that direction.
