Yup. I totally agree. I want to lower mine as well - I am just waiting a little longer to see what other options may appear before the new year.

It is very hard to be patient, though...

Totally. It is still a pretty cool looking R56 - orange tires notwithstanding...

I'm sure it rides real nice too!

Maybe they were 1/2-way through the spring install and had to stop? You would think someone would have caught that before going to one of the worlds biggests vender shows...

Hey MX100,

How do you like the ride of the H&R Coilovers? I'm trying to decide between them or the JCW suspension.

I plan on tracking my car a few times a year and autocross a few times as well. I figured the JCW would be as good or better then anything but the coilovers with a RSB is about 2/3 the price.

Lots of H&R, but I'm not seeing many coilovers. H&R coilovers on mine above.


Sorry, just noticed this is in the wrong damn forum.

I've always been a fan of H&R coilovers. I've had them on numerous VW's and now on my Mini as you can see. I think the ride is nice and tight and I can honestly say I've never heard any complaints about them. They're definitely worth the money.
