It depends on the system you buy. The standard system does not seam to be different than the Bilstein setup. They go up from there and the complete coil over with camber plates is up in price range.
This is what they say about the H&R cup Coil Over: (bottom picture)
H&R Porsche Super Cup Racing Suspension - Porsche 911/964 C2, C4 Coupe 1989-1994. Porsche Super Cup Racing Suspension, is designed for the committed motorsport enthusiast who is willing to relinquish some ride comfort in return for ultimate handling performance. The firmest coil-over in the H&R street line, it is the choice for track and club sport events.
Equally at home on street or track, H&R coil-overs provide enhanced performance, improved corner-holding ability and a sleek, aggressive stance-without the bone-jarring ride of some less-advanced suspension systems. All H&R coil-overs are hand-assembled in Germany to rigid ISO 9001 and German TUV standards.

You have more adjustment of the ride height with fully threaded shock bodies. The Porsche Sport books can often be found on ebay, especially the older ones. They became annual in 1993. www.motolit.com has recent ones as do some other motorsport book suppliers.

Flagg,
Do you know which H&R Coilover kit you purchased? There are about three models they sell, as others have mentioned. Apparently, the most street friendly set is around $1800 list or so.

I must say I did not do a huge amoung of comparison. My local shop (Turbo Proformance Center) highly recommended this set up. They activly run in big race series..........and I went with their sugestion.
All I can say is that I love my set up.............Flagg

So, does anyone have experience with the H&R Coilover - Street version?
How's the quality, adjustability, durability, etc?
Here's a link to the model:

My "new-to-me" 17" Turbo Twists from Marty in CO arrived today and now I am really anxious to get things going!
Thanks!

I have HD's with Eibach springs and for the street it is a little harsh. The Eibachs I have are not progressive. For the track only it would be fine. The Ruf 964 Evo C4 discussed on another thread recently got the H&R reds to replace track springs and after riding in it, it is a more compliant street ride but still gets around corners well enough for DE's IMHO. I am planning on switching since I do not track my car very much.

That is the same H&R coilover kit I referenced above. It has no adjustment other than limited height adjustment for corner balancing the car. Gert has the same kit and for an additional $100 he has the capability to provide additional range of adjusment.

Doesn't sound like the H&R Street coilovers are worth the $ then. I'll save my pennies for a PSS9 or Cross setup in the future then.
Thanks everyone for your input.

Incidentaly I upgraded to H+R supercups which are not a simple bolt on fit for a '90 C2 and IMO are far too stiff for road use but are a great track set up, well for me anyway.
