    H&R Coilovers - Definately a worthy Sachs replacement.

    Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs. Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...
