     Well I have driven A3's equiped with Bilstein's. Boge, and SPAX, and 
     the Bilstein's seem to be the most "supple" in their ride while 
     retaining the same firmness and handling.  They're also the most 
     expensive.  I would have to say that the SPAX would have the second 
     best ride quality as well as adjustiblity, and the Boge comming in 
     last (they just seem to have a cheap feel to them, while performing 
     well they don't feel as solid.)  I cann't comment on the Koni's as I 
     have not experience with them, but all I have heard is good.  I have 
     also heard bad things about Tokico's.

Why do you say the Bilsteins would be better for rough roads?  Just curious -- I
'm
about to do a suspension swap too.
