anyone with H&R coilovers??

Hey guys just got my rl last week and im trying to figure out how low the h&r coilovers can go. ive seen a thread on here where someone maxed out the tein comforts and it was super low but if the h&r's can go just as low then I would much rather purchase those for the simple fact that they are much cheaper. someone help a brother out plz!!

No one here has them, but these links claim to have some in stock.

And don't cut your springs!

Here are some cheap H&R coilovers for the RL:

thanks oo7spy, I called the first link and they said they didnt have them in stock but they were going to call H&R to see if they can get a set for me. Doubt they'll be able to but if they do then that'll be cool.

What is so great about them, plus you need your own strut.

I LOVE MY TEIN CST

Did you try the 2nd link? They are more reputable...I just found them just to show that H&R coilovers are available.

I have read debates about the quality of Teins and many people think the price is not justified by the reliability. Still, I have yet to see anyone here with a busted CST strut. I think the majority of detractors are hardcore racers, but you would also think a tank like an RL would break some shit too.

As far as ichi's complaint, with 16 adjustable comfort levels, I would put money on the RL Teins having whatever ride you please.

We're talking about H&R coilovers not springs. They do not require a strut

I've had Teins on every one of my rides and they are F'n awesome. If the price wasnt so large for the CSTs I'd have those too. H&R makes good stuff too but Tein is where its at. If i could get some Tein springs with some Bilstein struts I'd be all over it.
