Default need input on coilovers

Just wanting some input from people who have upgraded to a coilover suspension on their A3 2.0. Looking for the best 'bang for the buck' of course, but would like adjustability, not too firm/harsh ride, and far less body roll. Are upgraded sway bar(s) worth the $. Thanks in advance for any input.

I will be getting coilovers installed next, I will let you know how it goes.... I kind of feel bad taking out brand new suspension already though lol.

If you are looking for the best suspensions...i would say H&R & KW without a doubt...

The best bang for the buck ...V-MAXX for shure!

The ride is not too stiff (little stiffer than O.E.M offcourse ) But if you are not going to the track every weekend V-MAXX does the job starting @ $599 for a coilover kit!

edit: Rubbing is because of wheel offset not suspension...
