hi dexter, just want to know want you think about the h&r suspension. It's the only coilovers that i can fit in belgium. 

Hi @hondasport, sorry for the late reply. I can't really recommend the h&r's. They cost me a 1000€ and 2 shock absorbers broke after just 2 years / 20,000km. I got new ones through their warranty program but was quite a hassle. And again last december, one of the shocks i replaced broke again. That's when i replaced the whole set with BC racings which are a million times better.

 

The ride with the h&r's is pretty good, a bit too soft for track though. The height adjustment works well, as long as you remember to keep the rings greased to make sure they won't get stuck. But you adjust the height by compressing/decompressing the spring, compared to adjusting the height of the shock like with BC & MeisterR for example which is a lot better. And there's not damping adjustment on the h&r's either.

 

I reckon you need TÃœV-certification, that's why you're considering h&r?

About my new BC coils and the low rear because of EG fitting:

 

That looks awesome! Hopefully it'll be okay fully loaded, are you going to fill her up and see how it is?

Boot + backseat filled up almost all the way to the headliner with band equipment + 1 passenger, absolutely no scrape. 8-) So no more worries, it's still a cargo hauler & lowrider/trackattacker!

Nice one!

I had 350 litres of compost in the boot (seats still up) last night and did have the occasional rub on corners. ;)

Sometimes the wheel touched the arch as well :lol:
