Yup. I totally agree. I want to lower mine as well - I am just waiting a little longer to see what other options may appear before the new year.

It is very hard to be patient, though...

Totally. It is still a pretty cool looking R56 - orange tires notwithstanding...

I'm sure it rides real nice too!

Maybe they were 1/2-way through the spring install and had to stop?

Hey MX100,

How do you like the ride of the H&R Coilovers? I'm trying to decide between them or the JCW suspension.

I plan on tracking my car a few times a year and autocross a few times as well. I figured the JCW would be as good or better then anything but the coilovers with a RSB is about 2/3 the price.

Lots of H&R, but I'm not seeing many coilovers. H&R coilovers on mine above.

Sorry, just noticed this is in the wrong damn forum.

I've always been a fan of H&R coilovers. I've had them on numerous VW's and now on my Mini as you can see. I think the ride is nice and tight and I can honestly say I've never heard any complaints about them. They're definitely worth the money.
