Yes.
Part number has changed.
New number is, H&R 28895-8.
I have these sitting on my workbench waiting for installation.
Hope to install in the next two weeks. Will do the work myself.

Based on the information from 328ix and wanting the ability to adjust the ride hight, I went with this kit.

I do think of this kit as a semi adjustable suspension.
A true coilover gives you the ability to raise and lower from the shock body without changing spring tension.
With the H&R front strut you increase of decrease spring tension in order to raise or lower. The rear suspension design of the F3x cars does not allow for coilover operation as the shock and spring are separate items.
To a certain degree the rear spring can have some additional tension depending on how high you set the threaded spring adjusting collar.
But at this price point I think it is a fair compromise.
I paid $1,369.99.
I'll report back after installation with my thoughts.
