Because you know what you get.

Progressive springs get harder if you're cornering is more extreme. I like it to have always the same spring rate in straight aswel as cornering.

I would rather go linear spring rate and put a harder stabi on voor cornering more flat.

What s spring rate of the H&R


Eibach pro kit is almost ready also. Those are linear if i remember.
Swifts are linear. My last setup was all swifts on the coils. Kinda rough at low speed but they feel great.

If they want linear swifts are waiting for you. It's not like swift is making a custom set. They work with what they have.

Those rears are definitely rubbing. May look cool for the pics, but...
Would be hard to believe you can run a 315 in these cars.

Track setup with 3-4 degrees camber would be close. Plus this tire has a 12.5" section width, it's a full slick, and over a 12" tread width. Wider than your average 315

Damn. Now you've got me wanting to experiment with these. I'm pretty happy with the stock shock valving, but I think a tad less body roll would be beneficial, especially at that price point.

Yeah it feels very similar to stock. Just a tad more firm, better turn in and less roll.

Just put an order for the 28802-5 will be mounted when I pick up my car.
Had H&R on at least 6 cars previously, have always been very satisfied.

That's great. This is my first set of just springs. I've always had coils. Surprised me

Drop is perfect.. .wheels are nice looking too... I think I'd do -1 and go for 18" and maybe squared up all around... gotta watch the camber for street tires unless you like buying tires alot.

Couple things it gives you:
- Faster transient response
- Chassis takes a "set" sooner
- Consistent spring rate

Downside is ride can be firmer, and all the above really don't matter for street driving... As a racer, I just can't help it lol.

Yes!
Bought mine from Germany (autoteile in Schwerin Rattke GmbH,= www.cartuningpoint.de, price was 211 Euros)
However I went with the Mperformance coilovers since I do some track days.
Sold my H&R springs to Spain

It handles the same. A little sharper, I still think the M2 could benefit from a softer setup like Dinan's sleeve kit. Especially on stock tires

I actually feel it's a better ride. When hitting the bumps in the road I don't feel the back end going to jump out. I didn't get to drive it on fun back roads just yet but I'm happy with them and I'm sure you will be too!
