H&R Coilovers

[4Rings3Liters]

Well after a mild amount of searching got me nowhere I figured I would turn to you guys again. I am weighing my options on coilovers. I like Stasis but the PITA adjustability factor is making me look somewhere else. That led me to H&R coilovers. They are said to allow you to lower the front 1.2-2.2" and the rear .75-1.7". This doesn't sound like enough to me or am I way off base? Does anyone have any experience with these coilovers and care to voice their opinions?

Are they running H&R Street Coilovers?

[italian a4 1032]

Judging by the amount of money spent elsewhere on the vehicles I'm going to guess they have a more expensive H&R coilover setup.

i was looking at h&r's webstie and it looks life they all range from 1" to 2.5" and i only have seen the street series for our cars so far...

I have H&R street coilovers - you can literally put the car in the weeds no problem. My ride height is 24 3/4 fender to ground...I can most certainly go another 1" down on all four corners (although I wouldn't recommend it) Ride is exceptional for street duty. Not bouncy, very little to no body roll (stock USP sways), and no rubbing

Eightx3, how easy is it to adjust ride height with them installed?

How was the handling improvement over the stock stuff?

Are the sways on the USP and Sport Package the same ? I think so right because the USP is just with a "body kit" right guys ?

yessir... the bodykit and rims are the difference... the suspensions are the same...

Fronts are super easy - rears not so much. You have to drop the rear subframe to adjust the ride height I'll probably never readjust my ride height. I'm happy where it is.

It actually feels like a sports car now instead of a wagon Seriously, it feels like it is on rails.

I just got my konis for 910 shipped and they supposedly go 2.6 in the front. Don't have them on yet but I'll be sure to post when they are. The only down side is I ordered them from Jegs and they took forever to get in because of backorder.

myself as well as my brother (audikid66) are both on the H&R coilovers and you can go as low as you would ever like to...i believe they say those specs because any lower becomes liability if they tell you it can drop to the floor than people start breaking stuff..that way they are covered..but i can promise you you can go slammed status no problem + more

[HOFFY11]

adjustment- put it on a lift and front and rear are easy...handling- the BEST uprade you will make suspension wise i would say

[A4Triple Blk]

how much am i looking at for h&r street coilovers ?

[Mike@PureMS]

Height adjustments on Vogtland's are a piece of cake in the rear. Takes just a few minutes and you don't even have to remove the wheels.

And as for heights, you can slam 'em if you want.

You're looking at about $1200 give or take. Hold out until the Holiday sales start

[HOFFY11]

1500 give or take 50 bucks id say is about your exact answer...

That's a lie, lift or no lift, unless you drop the subframe there is nothing easy about adjusting the rears. That goes for almost all coilover manufacturers for the A4. Koni, H&R, KW, Tein, all use the same type of spring and perch setup ni the rear. Dropping the subframe is not as intense as it sounds, but that is the only easy way to adjust the rears.
