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?

hi dexter, yeah, for the inspection I only can use the h&r kit. I've heard that the old kits were with bilstein shocks, and that they were know for there bad schocks. Now the new kits are with koni schocks, so maybe they will be better now?

Hope so. My deck came with Koni Sports and it was a pretty good kit. How does your inspection work, do they check every single time that your suspension has tüv or is it just the first time and then they write it down and don't have to worry about it in the future anymore?

 

And i think the Koni Sport kit is also TÃœV-ceritfied for the mc2, so you might want to go that route if you don't need the height adjustability of coils?

tuv doesn't count here. It's called goca and the car must be in the goca papers. For example, the kw coilovers have the mb6 on the papers, but not the mc2, so I can't mount those. The only set that mention the mc2 is the h&r set. So I don't have much choice  cry.gif1

Man, that really sucks! How much does the h&r set cost these days?
