H&R Reds - I know, I know
#16
I've ordered reds to change my greens over Bilstein HD this week, a new H&R adjustable sway bars too, 24mm front and 26 mm rear.
I felt the car a bit in the soft side in the last track, it's time to change.
I'll post my impressions too.

I am always a bit challenged by these threads - only because "feel" is so subjective. Not only is it up to my butt and my butt alone to determine how a given spring set feels - my perception of "stiff" will change over time.
What felt "nice" on the road early on to me now feels uselessly soft. What feels "right" to me now - typically jars the fillings from passengers' teeth.
I recall borrowing a road car to run a little TSD rally (albeit over some tricky, twisty winter roads) and thought to myself in the odo check section, "Hmmm, stock WRX suspension isn't too bad".
Three hundred meters or so into the first "quick" section and I was HATING life. The car would not stay on the road - becuase I was boucing up and down so much and bottoming the suspension. So even in the SAME car - same day - but asking different things of the suspension - my impression changed.
All this is to say - you just have to do as you've done - pull the trigger and see for yourself.

I've installed the reds and i would like ta say that i am disapointed with it, the improvement over the greens are little, only a few stiff more, less that the numbers say.
I must to try the car in tracks next weeks, but in normal driving in my local roads i don't feel the car that i'm looking for.
