H&R Coilover Kit

DaveSakky135 · 12-16-2009, 02:33 PM

Thinking about ordering this set up, anyone else have it, and can give me some insight?

Front adjustment is strange, you have to be sure not to slide the shock too far down into the lower shock mount otherwise the front will not have the adjustment range you need.

Other than that, the setup is very comfortable and more competent than the stock setup. IMO not enough for any kind of SoloII or track competition but perfect for a daily driver.

^I can vouch for that, having ridden in his car. MUCH better ride than my sport springs. One day I will bite the bullet.

Twenzel, wasn't aware that you had the H&R coilovers. Been eyeing these for a while.

Solid choice, H&R builds a great kit.

How does it compare to the BMW Performance Suspension upgrade? I was want to go this route as I have heard really good things about the perf suspension.

I run the KW V2s, I think they are a perfect mix between performance and comfort. With the V2s, you can adjust the rebound as well as the height so you have some flexibility in terms of how the car handles and rides.

I'd definitely say go with the KW V1, V2, or V3 over the H&R.
