XC90, 330d, Trophy’s
Just fitted AST's to mine.
Cant give any feedback on them yet as the car is still sat in the garage waiting to go for its geo setup.
Fitted them along with the pure motorsport top mounts as brace, and the whiteline rear ARB.
Im going to be pretty disappointed if it doesn't handle well

Got cupped H&R on my 182, cracking bit of kit, everyones said it before, but they are really good. Most comfy coilovers ive had/ driven, im old now and cant be doing with crashy suspension. There comfy not because there rubbish, just there perfectly set for the car. I would say most of the coilovers fitted to cars (not just clios) are poorly setup , overly hard for the road and just plain s**t. Although they are not adjustable, other than for height, they are MORE than enough for the road. Coupled with a rear ARB its amazing.
Obviously AST are amazing, always have been, but there more for track cars than anything else. I had them on an elise and were mind bogling but nearly a liability on the road.
I also have used SPAX which were good but not aswell setup as the H&R. Do it, you wont be disapointed!

No the car is as is, not stripped out.
Use it for the daily commute, 1-2 track days and the yearly pilgrimage to Germany so idealy need it not too crashy en route to work but need it to be able to handle a bit track work.
Have just fitted new rear dampers before my most recent trip, thought the front didn't feel right and a couple of km's in relised they were goosed.
No oil leakage, just tired I think.
I think possibly the H&R's are the route as I'd probably not fiddle with the set up once fitted and right??
I presume the H&R's would be stiffer than oem though?

just so you know the H&R's are the same as bilsteins internally and yes both can be rebuilt. i personally would still go for the spax as their...
around the same price
have good reviews since danny has helped redesign them
can be adjustered if you feel's you need them a bit stiffer/sofer. or if you dont want to just leave them on the standard setting.
theirs quite alot of story's floating about that bilsteins are having knocking issues.
so all in all i dont really see the benifits of getting H&R's over spax.
