H&R street performance coilover Question

Hi guys. I'm about to buy a set of H&R street performance coilover system. I want a review from those who have owned or owns them. Tell me the Pro's and Con's about them. Comfort and reliability of them. Oh, and also how long you've owned them and do you feel any difference?

P.S. Can someone Please post a picture of that suspension.

Thanks,

Walker

I believe I'm the 2nd person on this forum to have them installed on my 3G. I only have pro's for the H&R's...except for one con=the rear suspension squeaks on every bump. However, I have read that the 3G TL, especially the Type-S, has a noisy/squeaky rear suspension from the get-go.

One last pro: H&R makes a higher quality product than does Tein. Just my

I don't have pics of the actual suspension, but if you PM Mike (aznbo187), he should have some. He might actually have a picture of them on his site: acuraTLparts.com. Here are a couple of pics of my drop. These are with the car being dropped 1.75" all-around. The original factory settings were on slam...2.5" all around. Here you go, enjoy!:

I just installed the kit a week ago. I'm very happy with the ride, that's one of the factors when I was looking around at all the kits. There is plenty of spring length, don't know the rate but its not too stiff at all. I'm at about a 2 1/8" drop all around, no squeaks or rattles what so ever. My one gripe is the coil spring ends that contact the plastic washer were not rounded off. This caused the spring to chew up the washer and contact the adjustment nut on the front. This is an issue too me but a very minor one that I have no problem working with.

Here's a few pics of the kit and my ride. I'm installing an Ingall's camber kit tomorrow and getting an alignment soon.

Nope, there's about 7/8" of thread left on shock. I could go about a 1/2" lower but this is as low as I want, just wanted no finger gap.
