Anyone have any experience with HSD Monopro Coilovers?
I'd love a set of Ohlins but I'm poor but need a better setup for a few track days I have lined up.
Just installed mine last week. I have to play with the damping still and will hopefully test it out this upcoming week at TMP. My inpression so far is that they are decent on the street, it's pretty smooth and comfortable but absorbs bumps pretty well. However I feel like the car has a lot more bump steer then it did when I had oem suspension with lowering springs. I think it feels that way because the softest I have the rebound set is halfway, more then likely on full soft it would be a lot better. Also they did not come "ready to install". I measured all the spring lengths as they came out of the box and the preload was not equal on all of them. There also isn't much information listed online so I'll be contacting HSD this week to see what they recommend as far as preload is concerned. Right now mine are set to 0 preload. I also set the height a little higher then I'd like because im still running stock MY00 front bar and want to be on the safe side for saving my fenders from body roll
Hey I tried to send you a PM but it won't let me. Shoot me a PM!

Thanks for the feedback...
I'm leaning more towards buying these...

I will call myself to verify, if that is will the case then I don't have to touch anything

Do you know the spring rates or valve settings on the HSD's?

Spring rates are 12k front/10k rear. Not exactly sure what you mean by valve settings. They are valved to work with that spring setup. Stiffer springs can be used which HSD offers but according to JRP it voids all warranty
