I have H&R 200 20V springs on my 5k.  They are a bit lower and a bit stiffe=
r=2E  Ride is pretty poor below 30mph.  Shocks are BOGE PROGAS in front and=
 old BOGE SPORT in the rear.  The car has Nokian Hakkapelita NRW-H tires an=
d could quite benefit from lower profile/stiffer sidewall tires.

Handling is very good, with the exception of in between turns, where there =
is a lot of car to move around and a high roll center.  Once the weight of =
the car has settled the tires and the suspension, the car does very well.  =
Usually a left foot stab to the brake will correct understeer in snow.  The=
 rear of the car may be underdamped.  If I did it all again, I would try bi=
lsteins.  Fore / aft movement is very controlled.
