Default Tein coilovers

Has anyone got/used any tein coilovers on a classic type R??

If so what are your opinions on them, handling, ride adjustability etc??

Got some for my car just don't know whether or not to put them on/

Thanks in advance

HR are fixed damping version of HA. Brilliant suspension kit for fast driving. not so comfortable, but who buys a sports car for comfort?

I have a set of TEIN HA on my type R, mate, they are the nuts, ride height looks good, not too hard (only people from 7 series beemers moan) and the handling is superb.

well worth the investment.

as my type r is for sale if anyone wants to swap theirs......
