I bought KW coilovers not to long ago and love them! I've always used H&R coilovers on my past German cars! Out of curiosity, has anyone run the H&R coilover

if you're looking for something cheap but still great quality I'd suggest BC coilovers with custom swift coilover springs. BC racing may be a newish company but that countless experience manufacturing good monotube coilovers. That, in combination with top quality springs from swift will definately give you a good mix, let me know if you are interested

BC, Taiwan Bor-Chuann Enterprise Co., Ltd, is the leading manufacturer of high performance shock absorbers in Taiwan. Since its establishment in 1999, BC has focused its efforts on developing, designing and manufacturing high performance shock absorbers.
BC, Taiwan Bor-Chuann started to promote its exclusively branded products, the BC Coilover Kit, which made its debut in 2003, and the sales volume of the BC Coilovers has grown impressively, consolidating its leading position in manufacturing shock absorbers in Taiwan.

not knocking a product i havnt tested but ive had BAD luck with other Taiwan manufactured coilovers. and since BC manufactures other peoples coilovers it makes me wonder if the brand i bought was actauly a BC coilover.....

i know i thread jacked a tad, but so is trying to sell a completely dif product when the OP was asking about H&R coilovers.

Completely understandable, my intention was not to high-jack this thread, more so than it was to suggest other coilovers that are better, in my opinion, and priced about the same. Nothing wrong with H&R, but for their price BC offers a 2 way adjustable monotube coilover. The biggest difference being name brand.

Also what coilovers did you have? The manufacture is not directly tied to BC racing. What I can tell you is that the manufacture has different options in coilovers in terms or price and quality... and as far as I know, BC only has the highest quality coilovers manufactured there, while other companies tend to get the cheaper lower quality designs. So they might have been made at the same place but it would be like comparing Tein Basics with Tein Monoflex.

OP sorry for the highjack haha if you still need more info on the H&R coilovers let me know and I'll see what I can find

I've tried Megan coilovers & felt that they were awful. I'm very hesitant to do Taiwanese products again. BC's housings are identical to Megan's product. Also, BC's customer service sucks. I'll probably never buy their product.

I don't plan on getting rid of my V3s, but was curious on the H&R product. I've had great experiences with their stuff before. I've just never seen anyone stateside with them.

Yea Megan manufactures the simplest coilovers which is why they're so cheap. BC has the coilovers several steps above those so they're of different quality.
