H&R VTF vs. KW HAS

AudiOn19s · 04-17-2019, 02:45 PM

Anyone running the H&R VTF that can comment on product quality, ride quality and anything else of note?

Plenty of threads here on the KW HAS, was pretty convinced that setup was what I was going with for our inbound M2C but the H&R advertises a little more drop ability than KW does and all the pictures of I've seen of the HAS kit cars leave me wanting a little more drop in the rear.

If this wasn't my wife's daily I'd do proper coilovers and be done with it but I like the ride quality characteristics of the sleeve kits (for her)

Thanks for any feedback.

Nobody? Is the H&R VTF something completely new to market?

The VTF came out pretty late, there aren't too many reviews or much feedback. However, from my experience between the two, the ride quality is very close to the KW.

Tad stiffer than stock, not bad for daily driving. Handles bumps and dips the same as OEM suspension.

I carry both of these brands if you need a quote

Following up here, I went with the H&R VTF. I liked that they offered slightly more drop than the KW and got a great deal on them

Install was straightforward based on info from this forum. Took me about 4 hours taking my time.

That first picture didn't work...and I decided to go back up 5mm on ride height last minute before I got it aligned.

This is the final height with the H&R kit.

Ride is very much like OEM and no complaints from my wife who daily drives the car. She actually commented that she thought it was going to be a little more aggressive than it is.

Reviving a dead thread

but whatever... you still running the H&R VTF's? will like to hear some long term feedback of it.

Car looks great. Would also like to see long term feedback.
