A quality shock should be able to accommodate a number of different springs with varying spring rate.
I agree. I just thought that you're unable to change the springs from a coilover set up because those springs are designed to fit the coilover assembly a specific way (spring perch desing, compression rate..etc..). I didn't know that you can switch them like taking some Eibachs and sticking them into the H&R coilover. That would work?

H&R is an OKAY company. There spring designs are a little bit more aggressive and coilovers are okay made, but you get what you pay for. Eibach springs have a tendency to sag over time and Teins... eh. You get what you pay.

So if you want inexpensive coilovers, H&R. For medium price range, KW, and for high price, TCK.

Thats why many people suggest of instead of buying less expensive coilovers, you shud buy really really good springs.
SCREW COILOVERS, just get bags.
Hey, I just remembered that CROSS recently released coilovers for the E60. A member here has them but I forgot who. What do you guys think of those?

Interesting comments about H&R. The guys at wheel power were really pushing the setup.

Hey, we aren't bashing H&R! They are great coilovers for the PRICE.

All I can say is I love my H&R coilover.
