I knew the performance level would be good (I'm not looking for a race car, after all) so my main worry was that it would be too harsh. Happily, it's definitely not harsh - just a nice firm, solid road feel while still soaking up road bumps with no muss or fuss. I think the H&R and Bilstein folks got this setup dialed in nicely. I'd say it's a good notch firmer than the factory Sport suspension, and maybe even just a hair tighter than the S4

The float I used to get cresting over ramp type speed bumps is completely gone, too.

So far, I love the ride and grip of the RE730's.

perches? If so, where did you set them?

How much do the H&Rs go for installed?

I got the springs and shocks as a set and it set me back about $720. A number of places have them (www.awe-tuning.com, www.shox.com, etc...) for around this price. I don't have a separate price for just how much the springs cost - the price was for the shock/spring set.

The installation labor was about $225, but that took some hunting to find a place that would do it for that price. Most were in the $350-400 range.

What year is your car?

The rears had adjustable perches, but I left them in their "as-shipped" setting - which was the lowest perch. The fronts did not have adjustable perches.
