H&R vs Tein Basic/SS coilovers
OK I know I may be asking for a bit here and many people have opinions so I'll just take it for what its worth. I've been debating coilover setups for my 07 WDP Acura TL-S. I know H&R has had a good line of coilovers but I'm not as proficient with the Teins as many guys on this board are. Infact I'm pretty clueless when it comes to these coilovers. I hear a lot on these boards about people having clanging or strange issues with teins but I don't really hear much about the H&R's. Maybe its because not many people on here use them.
If any of you have some opinions about both springs I'd greatly appreciate them.

There was a guy on here who said that the H&R coilover he got came disassembled/springs not pressed. Also he mentioned that it said Accord on the shocks but the springs were probably TL specific since it's heavier than the USDM or JDM Accord/Acura TSX. What I gathered from what I heard about the H&R coilover for our application and my direct conversations with them is basically that they use the same shocks for all three cars I mentioned, coil springs are car specific though. What sucks is that the shocks/springs come not pressed, you gotta do it yourself. I don't know, I respect H&R and all, but this particular set up seems kinda weak to me!

We sell H&R coilovers if you need a set. However, I recommend TEIN over H&R in this case. If you had a BMW/Audi or VW I would say go with H&R, but the fact of the matter is is that TEIN offers more for less of a price tag. H&R's coilovers only offer ride height adjustment and their list is $1250. TEIN offers the same thing with a list of $750. The ride is firm than stock, but not stiff or jarring. And if you want more adjustment you could get the SS and still pay less than the H&R setup.
Secondly, to Slammed_JDM you cannot compare the rdie of a 350Z to a TL. You have to compare apples with apples. If now you drove in a TL with TEIN Basics and then the H&R then you could make an accurate comparison.
However, in the end it comes down to personal preference. If anyone wants the H&R coilover setups I can do $1025 shipped. PM me on TEIN prices.
