Lowering springs or coilovers

Not sure if this was on a previous thread, but looking at both H&R springs vs Weistec coilovers.

Any negatives about the HR springs?

Going with the Weistec coilovers do I lose my suspension functions (comfort, race, etc...)


Thanks

Both are actually springs but the Weistec option is a height adjustable sleeve so you can pick your ride height. Both retain the factory magnetorheological dampeners (which are amazing) and their settings options. I would go Weistec since H&R are a fixed height.

Thanks Vic.
I'm in So. OC as well. We never met, but I believe you know my buddy Max Ha. He lives in Mexico now.

My AMG GT is at my Dallas location. I am going with the Weistec tune. Just not sure how often I would change the height settings...

Small world LOL

I haven't changed the height once since I dropped it but.... I dropped it more than the 1.2 inches that H&R offers so I'm glad I did the HAS.
