Default H & R springs.. Need feedback.

Whose got these? Recently found a set at a pretty good price but I have never heard anyone talking about them. Pictures would be nice but I would just like to hear what people think about the quality..

I've had H & R springs on several different cars, but not a F-body. Spring rates are better, and ride height drop is closer to what's stated , compared to Eibachs.

I don't know how much better that makes me feel when they are compared to Eibach's.. That is good though that they are true to their drop. Definately wanting something in that range. Anyone else got any feedback??

I carry H&R as well, the last guy wasn't thrilled the front of his car barely dropped. Again, the reason I made my springs is because I could not find a spring that gave me what I wanted (and bear in mind unlike any other vendor here I sell the greatest variety of springs, so I had the most options to start with).

I only do things when I feel I can do better. I tried numerous Eibach's, the H&R's, Vogtlands, ultimately coil-overs with a slew of rates and heights--and that's where my spring rates and height came from.

H&R's are very, very similar to LT1 Pro-kit in front, and a bit stiffer in the rear. That's the most similar set of springs I can compare them to.
