Unfortunately with the H&R Coil overs you do not have the opportunity to adjust dampening. I haven't driven the car all that much to really give you a solid answer on weather or not these are stiffer or not compared to stock or just springs.

From my short drive yesterday - the ride is very similar to stock. The car rebounds and handles more precise, and of course you get more road feedback through the steering wheel.

Springs may feel "stiffer" compared to some coil over setups, depending on the dampening the coil overs are set to / pre set to.

How would you compare the coil overs against lowering springs?
I for one have always enjoyed the rigid, more aggressive, not so plush feeling that springs give you. Do you find these to be fairly rigid, or are they somewhat plush compared to springs?
Yah Have to get a few more pictures now. Snow storm in mid-April! WTF Toronto.

Get your beast back on the road and we will get some nice shots taken.

Aha.. The mod bug is back! Kris, nice mods done on your 204. Wheels looking sweet with a nice stance. I can't imagine what it sounds like though without the resonators! I'm sure there are other parts to get for the car.. Heehee

Yazid my brother, hehe you know when the mod bug bites it bites deeply.

I have to install my new diffuser / spoiler and get my side marker lights painted. Hopefully over the next few weeks I can finish it all up.

Just a hint of Carbon

Good morning boys,

Wanted to share a picture with you, I received my new Dynamic Performance Spoiler from the paint shop yesterday.

I love details, I wanted to expose the CF but still maintain the fluidity of the Iridium silver paint ontop of the trunk. I didnt want to break up the trunk by having exposed CF onto of the trunk.

While I love CF, i feel it can be overdone and look out of place. IMO hints of CF throughout the car adds to the "high-end" appearance.

Small things, it makes the difference to me.

Thanks bro, I still have a few more parts awaiting install. I'm sure there will be pics of it from George at the season opener next weekend. With the new baby its hard to get out to take some nice pics right now. But I really do want to finish up for the season soon. My wife has been kicking my *** about all the mods

Hey Meng, yes the top of the spoiler is painted Iridium silver and the bottom half is left in Carbon. This spoiler is very similar to the OEM Spoiler but with a slightly higher Kick and extended protrusion.

Original spoiler look Kriston
Tell me are your rear wheels 9.5 or 10 x 19? Which offset?
They look pretty damn concave

Thanks buddy,


They are 19 x 9.5 ET 44 offset. No spacers in the rear. Fronts are 19 x 8.5 ET 30 offset no spacers. Im confident this is as flush as we are going to get it on our stock C63 bodies.
