H&R suspension, Anyone using?

Is anyone using/have experience of H&R springs/Cup Kit or coilovers here? I was going to get an Eibach setup but my brother says that H&R products are better than Eibach in his experience with BMWs. When the stiffness of the Eibach springs for the BMW e30 M3 were tested they were actually softer than the original ones.

hey, yeah i have the coilovers on my cooper s and they are brilliant , completely change the way the car handles, well worth the extra cost over the springs.

Well....I'm sure somenoe on here can find you a dealer who will sell you a set of H&R's very cheaply to test.

It would be very good for the members on this forum to get opinions on both springs. Seeing as your friend has some Eibachs then you can drive both cars and tell us how they are different.
