H&R coilover reviews?

I've been looking at coilovers and came across H&Rs. Anyone have any reviews or thoughts on these?

They're German made, seem to be decent quality. Not sure they would hold up for track duty.

Any thoughts?

I have the H&R RSS. I have about 10k on them now and I like them. They are not for the typical driver because they are pretty stiff. You will feel every bump in the road. I think they have loosened up a little over the last 10k or maybe I am just used to them. But they are really fun to have if you enjoy driving more aggressively. They are not the most comfortable if you constantly have passengers and drive long distances. I would recommend them though... if you drive like me.

130k miles and three regional autocross championships on mine, and I have nothing but praise for them. Highly recommended.

Thanks guys, obviously you can't have a street car and track car in one but I still need something that allows me to have a daily driver. I only do about a dozen track days a year and put about 25K on the car each year.

I was afraid that their coilovers were going to be as stiff as their coilsprings. (too stiff for me anyways)

Thanks,

Mark
