Anyone have experience using Koni Sports with the H&R V8 (29921)
springs? I'm undecided between the Bilstein Sports vs. Koni Sports on my
S4.  I spoke with Tim McLean at NE Automotive and Keith Anderson at
Anderson Motorsports, both have had experiences with Bilstein failures,
best I can surmise is that it seems to be related to dirt and corrosion
on the piston and may be related cold temperatures.  Both recommended
Koni's as alternatives.  Koni Sports for the S4 have adjustable rebound,
from talking to them seems like 50% from the softest setting gives a
stiffness comparable to the Bilsteins.

I'd sure appreciate some feedback from anyone using this setup,
especially compared to the Bilsteins.  All the guys here in New England
run the Bilsteins, I've never driven the Koni setup.
