Well, we have the Spax units on our 2 MCS's, and are happy with them.

For me, it was knowing that's what they fit on the works cars - good enough for them, good enough for me.

jlm and I had significant ride height issues with the H&R coilovers back in january READ THIS POST

I contacted H&R and wound up returning the coilovers. Many thanks to Steve @ H&R (I'll PM you his phone number). H&R stood behind their product and did a lot to examine the issue -- including sending pictures of our installation to their engineers in Germany (their engineers vouched for the fact we did the installation correctly).

jlm made a 3/4" spacer and installed it between the spring bottom and the adjustable perch.
