Wouldn't want to use either of those on the road personally

Or track!

H&Rs are good for road use.

i have vmaxx and they are ok for road use but are bumpy. having been out in clios that have better coilovers for not much money and the difference is noticable. you are better off saving your money and waiting untill you can afford better ones imo.
Because I enjoy having a working back as opposed to vertibrate which have been turned to dust.
of the 2, Vmaxx are better, but more money. Neither should be used on track, but either is actually ok (and note, this does not mean excellent) for road use
save up and get as good as you can afford. What you like from suspension can be quite personal. The spax kits we sell are deliberately more comfortable than standard, but give you a lot of confidence by feeling very flat through corners once correctly setup for your car.
Worth remembering that all cars are not the same, and a stripped out car will behave very different to a fully trimmed one, so you need to consider adjustability when choosing

How much speed do you actually want to try and carry around country roads?
Personally I see no sense in modifying a car to be a road-warrior, the driver builds a sense of confidence in their new handling (whether it's a true gain or not) only to go around that blind bend 15mph faster and come face-to-face with a tractor.
I can kind of understand lowering for the sake of cosmetics, but to try and build a road-racer in this age of cameras, litigation and congestion, it sounds like a recipe for a write off.
But I'll stop being negative about it now, it's all up to the individual, it's their car after all

I mean fast road in a loose sense. I dont mean a setup so i can drive like a nob on the UK roads. I'm 26 not 18. I mean a setup which feels good on a daily basis but you can push and have confidence in. I am planning a few track days but really nothing serious and i commute in the car daily.

Koni adjustables with eibach springs, epic set up.
PHEW!
I getcha.
If those Spax ones are as previous post mentioned, they sound like a good compromise. No sense building a track-biased motor if you need to be able to negotiate potholes, snow drifts etc.
Ap seem to get good recommendations on a budget.
