STaSIS Clunking >> DRC Clunking.
It's official, the loudness of the STaSIS clunking is much greater than the DRC clunking ever was.
Months of promises of a "fix" from STaSIS and nada.

never had the DRC clunk but can vouch for the Ohlins clunk
Stasis told me the problem was low speed compression clunk in the strut stacks. The trick is to get to 40mph really fast and not drive the car any slower. After ~ 1 year of this I've gotten used to it.

Depends. Street or track? Adjustable yes, but not a great application for heavier cars. Possibly
PSS9's although not in an RS6, I currently have Stasis Ohlins in my R32, had KW V3's in them and yanked them out after blowing out the shocks twice due to compression/weight issues (track) and have PSS9's on my S4 currently.
Ohlins - Best set up but in a race platform in my case. Don't care about rattles or noises.
KW - Weak in a race platform but ok I guess for street although it's funny I blew my KW's out while ON the street. V3's are not revalveable by a local shop. Have to buy new ones or send in the broken one for fixing.
PSS9's - Nice alternative for track and street. 9 adjustable settings and 8/9 are decent for flatter tracks. Some bump stop issues on higher elevation tracks (Laguna, VIR, etc...)

I try to limit passenger time to 5 minutes or less around town...
and tune it out as best I can.
I agree about the (no)feedback from Stasis on this. I stopped by their shop several months ago and was told a fix was expected within a month or so.
Jason... have you tried playing with settings on the struts? I keep telling myself to soften things up to see if it'll make a difference, but just haven't gotten around to doing it.
