Tornado red edition 30 #2061
CP-Performance:
ST also do a 30mm kit for these, still retaining a decent level of comfort over most road surfaces.

Been looking at the st ones, made by kw
AJP:
I can vouch for the H&R springs. Nice drop and decent ride. If I was ever looking at coilovers I'd consider ST, they're basically what Weitec used to be and the set I had on an old car were decent.
However, when it comes to springs H&R are tried and tested, whereas ST/KW springs would be more of an experiment - you just don't know how the car's going to sit, and once they're on there's no adjustment. By all means try them though. They might be good.

Thanks for the advice :happy2: think the h&r's is where my money will go, as long as the ride isn't too harsh,

They're all good as long as your dampers aren't shot. When I fitted mine (on standard dampers) I could barely tell the difference.
They will wear the dampers faster than standard springs, purely down to the reduced travel making the dampers work under more compression, but that'd be exactly the same case as any spring that dropped the car 30mm.
The main consideration for me was how it sat, and I'm happy with it. In the future there are plenty of options for fitting new uprated/shorter dampers that will work even better with shorter springs like the H&Rs.
