Anyone using the HR coil over kit?
I hear about the PSS9 kit all the time on this board, but I don't hear too much about the H&R coil over kit. Since H&R does manufacturing and R&D in Germany, I would think the kit should be high quality and high performance. I know the cost on the kit is the same as the PSS9 too.
While at the Car and Driver Supercar Challenge a couple years back I know the 750hp Autothority car had this system and it ran away with the road course portion of the competition. They spared no expense on that car so it definitely has me wondering why they used this system over the other ones out there....
Looking for someone with first hand experience with this system.
Thanks!

I swithed from stock to the ROW set-up after doing a couple of DE's. Then I went to H&R coilovers with GT3 bars and TRG adjustable drop links to go with my wider Fikse 18/Corsa setup.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with the performance. The car is lower approx 30mm front and 25mm back(front spoiler can rub significant incline/delclines if I'm not careful so I switched to C4S front spoiler-now 3.5"front clearance) and feels great and very balanced. The only thing that occasionally rubs now(only on fast roads with major undulations) is my GT3 brake air ducts which are significantly lower than stock but worth it. I've adjusted for much less understeer and have a semi-agressive alignment with medium agressive camber. The car feels much more neutral
and tossable w/ very good stability on fast sweepers. It now has a slightly edgy but controllable feel at high speeds vs the previous push. I'm hearing of better set-ups out there (Motons) but for the occasional track and DE's, my H&R set up is fine.
