Anyone running H&R OE Sport Springs and Koni's?
Insofar that you can't search for 2 or 3 letter things like OE or H&R on most bulletin board software, I need to ask the question in a new thread.
Anyone got this setup? Its exactly what I need on paper, more damping up front, a mild lowering without giving up a lot of ground clearance, etc.
Curious as to impressions. If no-one has this setup, I guess I'll be the guinea pig.

At what cost for an unmatched combo?
Why not go a one brand coilover?
You've no guarantee the shock valving is suitable for the spring rates you'll get.
You don't know if the SR's will be suitable for the type of driving you do and end result you're trying to achieve.

Because I want little to no lowering, and my car racks up huge mileages. I don't have the time or patience to sort out a finicky set of coilovers. I'm just not a coilover candidate. The front springs are a little too soft for me, and the H&R OE set should firm that up just a little bit....which is what I'm after. I've had success with Koni's on mildly upgraded springs in the past, so I'll probably try it again.

if you want a slight drop with slightly firmer springs go with the A-spec set up. It seems exactly like what you are looking for. If you want to get the koni shocks remember you will still have to spend time adjusting the shock to get it right for your preference and your spring choice. Also if you do enough shoping around you can get the A-spec set up cheaper then the koni's and HR springs.

That was my point shmork - why bother going to the hassle of a combo that may be a hit and miss affair, when you can spend similar money on a properly designed combo from one company.
Alternatively, spend $250 or so and grab possibly the best springs on the market - Swift.
Still think you'll not be happy as it's the rebound rate that's abismal on the OEM shocks, and the A-Spec are not exactly chalk and cheese in difference.
