H&R XI Coilovers??

EVERYBODY on this forum talks about kw coilovers but i want to go a different route i saw one guy on here who had H&R coilovers and they looked good almost same price for about 1200. Anyone have this setup on an xi that can give some feedback, im currently on bilsteins and H&R lowering springs

I don't have any coilovers but from what I see it depends if you're referring to the KW V1 or V3. Only asking because I know HR/V1 are only height adjustable IIRC and the V3 you can adjust dampening/rebound while also height adjustable? Someone confirm please

Everyone has KW because KW coils are superior to H&R. H&R, as I'm sure you are well aware, ride harsher than most suspension setups. Plus, H&R's coils are not stainless steel like KW's, which means they're susceptible to rust, which is especially important since you live in the northeast. Considering VRSF sells KW V1's for around the same price as H&R coils, it's a no-brainer

V3's allow rebound and dampening adjustability so you can better fine-tune your ride characteristics and shoot for a softer or firmer ride. If you're not tracking it, I'm not sure the added cost would justify the extra adjustability
