EF spring options

Looking at spring options for EF crx's and have been looking at brands H&R and Vogtland. The 2nd is german with 35mm lowering and the 1st is American with 50-60mm drop. One of the crx's is a daily driver the other is in rebuild so will only be a weekend driver. Anyone had experience with either brand, good or bad? Am looking at adjustables at a later stage for one of the cars but the other only needs to sit down a little on the 17's.

Re: EF spring options

i'd go with the H&R, Aparently made from the same people as neuspeed. I know theres a couple people about to run them in their dc/eg's but nt sure how they would rate them.

Re: EF spring options

H&R are also German

the spring designer from Neuspeed left to work for H&R..........so essentially they are now the same springs.

We have the H&R in stock and can supply Vogtland if necessary...

Yes, the tec's going to need 8.5" min wheels maybe 9" in the back so leaning more towards adjusties to fit the tread under the back and not clip the guards. The daily has a set of shortened shocks c/o Strongs but they are a little too hard for everyday driving and the 17's clip the back end so throwing out options for the moment.
