Default What kind of H&R coilovers are these?

<center><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1322996&a=9830948&p=50439685&Sequence=0&res =high"></center><p>I am about to buy these and I dont know what kind of H&R coilovers these are. The rear coilover cant be adjusted in ride height. Only the front ones can. I was just wondering. Do you think I can use my H&R race springs on these coilovers?
thanks

Default Ummmmmmm.....

If the rear cant be adjusted then its not a set of coilovers. Why would you want to use your race springs? One of the many advantages of coilovers is that the springs and shocks are matched together to give you better performance. Why would you want to screw this up?

They look to be KONI, not H&R.

Default Buhahah how many coil over owners honestly corner weight the car?

I know I didn't...if I get more serious then maybe some day I'll have it done. For most people Coil Overs are about being able to get the exact look they want...to balance out all 4 corners so they're even...and to allow for seasonal ride height adjustment w/o having to remove the entire suspension.

Regards,

James R.

Default *Raises hand*

You have them, why not go ahead and do it? I doubt there are many people who ever adjust for seasonal changes. You can adjust them slightly on the car but if you are going to move them an inch or so you will want, dont have, to remove them, PITA if you dont. Just my $0.02.
