H&R VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs

Is anyone using these yet? http://www.hrsprings.com/product-spo...wering-springs

They only just got released so I don't imagine anyone has got their hands on them. Would love to get some feedback from someone using them.

Finally H&R gets a KW HAS style product....

The key will be the spring rates and will they calm the "stiffness" down on the car vs the oem springs.

Price point at $1100 is pretty good price for a set of coilovers.

I think you can get it cheaper, the KW's are less if you deal with the right vendor (wink wink)

Here is a link to the C63 fitment: http://www.hrsprings.com/application...s/25/1769/2015

It appears to be quite a large drop. Front between 1 and 1.6 inches. Rear 0.6 to 1.2 inches. Unlike KW HAS, it would appear you cannot run factory height with the H&R setup.
From memory, KW is about 0 - 0.8 inch drop at the front, and 0.4 - 1.2 inches in the rear (depending on whether it is the Coupe, Wagon or Sedan).

In NZ the H&R VTFs were quoted to me at $2300. The KW HAS are $999, so I have gone with the KWs. Plenty of good reviews on the KWs and the H&R VTFs were to risky at that price.
Someone else will need to be the guinea pig!
