Default H&R + Bilstein on the track or autocross?
Has anyone taken their S4 to the track on an H&R spring + Bilstein shock suspension setup? I just finished installing mine and I have an autocross event this weekend. I have 17" rims, so I am hoping that I will not have any rubbing issues and that in general, nothing will go wrong.

Shortcut install: Take the two upper perch mount bolts off, take the lower shock mount bolt off, unbolt the sway bar and wiggle the strut out. Takes about 15 minutes to get it out

Not stiff enough, but you'll still have fun...

The H&R + Bilstein Setup is perfect for track and autocross. I just got rid of mine a matter a fact because they were too stiff!

Default haha, so one yes and one no...
Just so long as my fender doesn't start eating my tire on tight corners, I will be happy.

Default My KW V3's are 750 front, 550 rear and they're too soft for real track work.
I'd prefer spring rates at least 100lbs higher.

However, they ride great around town!
