H&R cup comfort suspension

Has anyone heard of or used this kit before?

I have just purchased a set rather than go with coilovers. I am hoping that the price tag that is double that of JOMs etc. will prove to give me a better and more comfortable ride with decent handling characteristics.
I would appreciate some heads up on the ride quality if anyone knows what it will be like before I fit them.
I will use this thread to update after I fit them.

Sharon (the wife) has them on her Sportline, as does Shughy on here.
They give a firm ride, mid way between the softest setting on my Weitec coilovers and standard. Can get a little harsh on bumpy roads. It does have power flex polybusjes all round and Eibach anti roll bars that do add to the stiffness.

Oh and make sure you get the correct ones for you cars weight, details on the slam panel

See on the H&R website they list 3 different part numbers with exactly word for word the same speel for all 3. I got the -1 items on order. Hopefully I've got the right ones. From what you've said it sounds very much like I will be pleased with the results as I want a softer ride and the drop will hopefully not be as severe as the spax setup on the car currently.

Have you fitted these H&R jobbies yet? what's the verdict?

I was thinking of getting some Spax, but I've heard a couple of stories saying the quality isn't as good as it used to be, and it looks like VW Heriatge are no longer (currently) stocking them. Was thinking of getting the H& R kit. I'm getting to my middle years (Mid 20's, second time around!) and don't want to firm a ride.

Ta for your thoughts.

They took too long to deliver so I cancelled the order. I will pick something up soon in my own time, some muppet organisation selling items on ebay with two day delivery that actually takes a month because they have no stock and H&R take 3 weeks to satisfy their orders has a tendency to upset me. I have Spax on my car and it's the lack of comfort that's causing me to move on.

Does my head in that sort of thing mate. If you haven't got it in stock why advertise a 2 day turnaround,

That's a shame. Demon Tweeks have them advertised, I believe, and I found another site, bit it didn't look too convincing. I've e-mailed H & R in Germany to try and get the low-down. (no pun intended!) I'll let you know if I get some feed back.

Had a reply from H&R today, very helpful. The lady got back to me with a spreadsheet for Golf Cabriolets etc.
I've translated it into English and done a 'Prt Scn' and 'photoshopped it.

Just English with my options highlighted in Green.:

Just found them on E-bay.de at € 403.86 plus € 23.90 for shipping. Just waiting for them to come back to me, as it says 'we don't post abroad, just after it says 'we post abroad'.   Only on E-bay!
