I guess that depends, Schmedly...

I think the Alcon system on HiRev's car, although not 'necessary' on the street, it really does make a difference in the driving experience.

Better precision, more confident pedal, etc.

That's...

I had quite enough, thank you.

My kit was installed at 4012 miles.

I now have 10100 miles, or 6000 miles with the kit.

Coming from the M3 CS, I found the Audi's suspension to be far too soft and wallowy... massive dive under...

I bought the STaSIS kit for the street; *mandatory* upgrade IMO

The STaSIS kit, in their recommended initial configuration (fairly soft), is every bit as comfortable for the street as the stock DRC system.

Allusion to push

I only meant to suggest that STaSIS likes to put a little more weight on the back end than OEM spec, to reduce understeer/push.

I deconstruct this on these counts:

They said:

When Audi engineers set out to build a competitor to BMW's M3 sport sedan, they pretty much obliterated their target, too. ... Instead, the RS4 overshoots the mark by so much, it lands...

RI RS4, you rock: The voice of reason speaks. Listen.

I'm really not taking sides here.

I'm sure ZIZOU had something to say, I'm just not sure what it was-- I didn't read more then I needed to in order to get the gist.
