[Dubai182]

From what i've heard its 2nd only to the leda's. Also heard people say the ride comfort is better than standard too

 

[craigs182]

H&R's or as John said LEDA's!!

Tbh i'd be interested to hear a comparison between the ledas ad H&R's from someone who's driven both back to back and for a decent amount of time. I think people merely assume (im not saying wrongly but still without any experience) that because the ledas are more they are better.

I'd go H&R's good quality and VFM imo.

Around £1300 for the leda's mate.

Theres also KW coilovers that are very good too: http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront/EN/Product/15324

The ones in the link above are height and damping adjustable, coming in at £842 delivered is a bargain IMO.

I have ledas and would highly recommend them although I paid £900 for mine in a group buy, I wouldnt have paid £1300.

I dont imagine anyone has driven them back to back and as Loony says you cant say one is better if you havent tried both.

For me the advantages would be the adjustability of the ledas and the fact you can get them serviced in this country quite cheaply dont know if you can do with the H&Rs. I have heard the H&Rs are a little soft for some people.

I run 225lb front and 300 rear springs on mine with 1/3rd from softest damping setting which feels perfect to me. Another forum user, D4ve, had the same spring rates but on the softest damping setting it was still to hard for him. I think he went back to Leda for 200lb front and 250 rear springs which you can swap free of charge. rmccardel has 275lb front 300 rear springs for track. My point being what I think feels right may not be the same for someone else and with the ledas you have the scope to set it up how you want it.

H&R's for me. I like the fact they use Bilstein shocks, who in my eyes make the best shocks around.

If you want some H&R's give me a PM as we have jsut started doing them and i will sort you out with a good price!

 

[Alan]
