Boge is OEM, so expect a stock feel... unless you get their turbo gas
which ive heard are only about 15% at most better than stock
heard konis are great... and if you plan on keeping your car for a long
time bilsteins are gaurenteed for life... so its worth the extra $$$
unsure about fk... cheap but sound ok...
spax is dirt cheap and i heard their quality and whole company
just got totally turned around... a gamble
heard kw is good too... decent price

concerning this, the macco paint topic and everything to
do with audis in general...
