ARGH!!! I knew it was too good to be true. What did we ever decide on the Bilstein B8's with H&R Sports? I can't seem to find any real reviews of this combo, even though it was mentioned quite a bit here.

The good:
-looks great (not too high, not too low - just right height)
-handles better. Still not a totally body roll-free car, but handling improved greatly since after the install.
-price - about half of KW
The bad:
-shortened suspension travel up front - hits hard when you hit bumps, bottoms out easily
In a nutshell, this is about it. I would definitely recommend if you don't live in a pothole area. If roads are bad where you are, you have to realize that this will limit your ability to fly over those potholes - you'll have to crawl through those areas or pay the price. In rims and tires, and suspension bits.

I can give you a real review: they are totally awesome, as long as you don't daily drive on bad roads.
