I got the "non-ultra" H&R coilovers and I'm sitting a bit higher than Taner & S4mojo. Ground to fender heights: 25.25" Front, 25.5" Rear. I'm probably going to raise the front just a bit to fit 18s under there.

Being a daily driver, I didn't want it to be too harsh, but I definately wanted to get rid of the dive, squat, and lean. I must say that I'm really impressed. I test rode in Steve S's car and I got a pretty good sense of what they would feel like, but now that I've driven 'em for a day or so I'm really diggin' 'em!!

Thanks to Dick and the guys at Dynospot for the quick job (under 2 hours in & out)

Default How does the car feel over bumps?

Is it still solid, or does it shake more and feel more affected by bumps?

I like the adjustable height of the H&R coilovers, but I don't want to sacrifice too much comfort.

Default It feels more solid & stable, yet is only minimly stiffer than stock..I too worried about comfort...

This is the best of both worlds IMO. It definately does not shake or bounce - it feels very solid. It should have come from the factory like this 'cuz that's how good it feels.
