Anyone running the new Koni and Hvand Rsprings, I just ordered a set, I couldn't justify the price of Bilsteins. Any good?

mweh Koni is good stuff don't know about the H&R springs you got(should be alright anyway) but as long as the Koni's do their job the springs should be just fine.

Well I never used the brand myself but I do know that they are supposed to be high quality.

Just phoned demon tweeks to see how long they will be to be told 2 weeks at least so no good to me now as I'm swapping subframe in 2 weeks so I have gone with Prosport coilovers so if I get 2 years out of them until Bilstein prices hopefully come down a bit.

Prosport coilovers? I had those on my VW golf mk3 vr6... had a few problems one was that during install both front top bits broke (the bit where you hold it so you can tighten the top nut ) got those replaced under warranty, and they got harsh really quick... again just the front the rears where fine... got those replaced again under warranty than they where good.. and the reason why i went for them is they allowed 120mm lowering yet still keeping some comfort on the lowest setting compared to the JOM coilovers back than (they were the only ones that could go that low at the time) Oww and the reason why i got the lot replaced was more because i always bought my tuning parts from that shop, so it was more of a keeping a good customer happy for returning business (the second replace on warranty) than that it was under warranty.

But they lasted years after the teething problems... I hope for you they stepped up their game and you won't have the same problems I had.

I'm sure they are all made in the same factory,] I did look at stanced + but I see that they aren't Tuv certified so It put me off.

TUV certification isn't the cheapest thing to get for manufacturers, doesn't say that the stuff isn't good enough just means they haven't gone for the certification... but to be fair if you want TUV certified budget coilovers... just go for JOM... they are also the ones that go lower than most and are one of the cheapest brands to get... so when they are done for you can easily replace them cheap enough (that is if you don't mind their stiffness)
