Default H&R coilovers

Has anyone tried, or know of anyone who has, the H&R coilovers yet, and if so what are the comments?

For example, how do they compare with the OEMs and are the spring rates known?

I just fitted my H&R.....
I had some bad experince with H&R which I had it on BMW 540i.. 1998.. and wheels are touching the rear finder.. and if I have 4 people... for get it.. !!! As I have my Woofer in the trunk............!
.... I have been told that they are not that good... and it might effect my driving control... as Honda had already tuned the suspension.........!( why did I make this mistake again)

But let me tell u what I abserved....
1) The car sunk so deep down..... and it Looks .. WoooW!
2) The proportion of the lower end to the front end is little bit weired.. as the rear is too low! .. Bass.. Hey it does not touch and I hope with the new SSR GT3 18x9.5 will stay away from the body
3) The performance and the handling is much better than the stock.. I will be testing the car soon in the track to see if the performance have enhanced.. "Hoping"

H&R c/o's on my M3 left a lot to be desired. Too much rebound damping, not enough rear spring, rode on the bumpstops too much, limited travel, and tire fitment issues.

Much happier with my current Ground Control setup, running Koni DA coilovers with custom spring rates.

Not sure how this tranfers over to the S2k, as my S2k was bone stock when I had it.

If you are considering the H&R's, you might also wish to consider the Ground Control's with stock shocks, Koni adjustables, or Advance Design shocks.

There web site is lacking but they are pretty knowledgable if you call.
