H&R coilover set. Need help deciding

As the title states..
I need help deciding what Coilover set to purchase new.

Its betwwen..
H&R coilover set
or
Bilstien Pss9/10

The H&R's would run me about $1300.00 w/tx
and
Blstiens Pss9/10 would run about $2000.00 w/tax

The reason for the H&rs are the price. I cant see myself paying 2k for coilovers... I rather save the money i save and put them into wheels.

If anyone has any review on the H&R coilover set, that would be great.
Let the flaming begin on the " " button not being used.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not to jack your thread, but have you considered single adjustable AST's with Swift springs? They are reasonably priced and from what I have read should be a good option.

I havent considered that and haven't optioned that out as well. I'd like to look more into that. Has anyone used them? Does anyone have those installed?

Actually if you're going to "save money" on a set of coil-overs, don't put it to the wheels. Put it toward a good CORNER BALANCING and alignment.

IMNSHO the ability to easily corner balance is the single biggest performance reason to get adjustable height coil-overs.

Between those two, I would do the Bilsteins because I think they are a better compromise between performance and comfort. They are easy to adjust and well regarded on the forums. I ran them on my daily driven E46 and was happy with the mix, it was a very good performer without being too stiff.

Also, have you considered KWs?

As an authorized dealer, we can help you get a set of coilovers that fit your budget.

You have a PM coming your way!
