[urq] H&R Springs

Andrew,

You were probably not hitting bump stops although it might have felt like
it.
It is true, when set to full stiff these shocks are hard... hard enough that
you can't even "bounce" the front end when testing the shocks...
With H&Rs it was anything but fun on a Toronto city road...
However when set to full soft, they are actually livable... however I wanted
to go with a set up for a daily car that will do 100km each day and not
complain.

H&Rs and Konis would be great on a track though.

Cheers
Martin Pajak

I hope you have replaced your bump stops recently,
becausee you'll be needing them. As I recall H&Rs are
even lower than Eibachs and Eibachs and Konis are a
BAAAAAD combination for real-world driving in my
opinion. I was hitting the bump stops all the time on
moderately rough pavement before I switched shocks.
Before you do the work, spend the money for the
Bilsteins. Just my unsolicited $0.02.
