So it seems that the H&R Race Lowering spring has been matched to the Bilstein adjustable ride height B14 damper.
So far then the marketed Bilstein B14 Pss coilover kit for our car is rated at 485F and 305R, and Bilstein have matched their dampers to the rates.
Also H&R coilover kit for our cars come with Bilstein springs. Kind of interesting. manufacturing buddying up there.
Anyway ive just installed them on my car in replacement and an upgrade from Megan Racing sleeves which were rate as we know at 450F 350R, putting the better damping to one side from the Bilsteins, i can feel the spring rate difference already.
In theory it would create mild understeer from the last setup i had as the fronts got stiffer, and the rear softer. But the dampening has delt with that perfectly as its completely neutral. Rides like lowering springs comfort, but with coilover handling.

My upper balljoints are autozone adjustable ones. My old joints were definately bad, and i had the ebay camber kit that automatically added way
to much camber, and were so cheap. The upper A arms were hitting the edge of the shock tower. Still want to get an alignment check.

Once those autozone adjustables wear out you should look into Ingalls adjustable upper bj's.....
Also, you will want to get an alignment done.

I have life time warranty on those bj's, Ingalls were out of the budget and the old ones were very bad. String alignment done to fix toe. Although I do want to get a free alignment check to make sure.

and I was wondering what any members experiences or knowledge on this suspension setup was? I currently drive a 1990 LX with OEM suspension, Will the improvement be great over my car? Body roll? grip? I'm also hoping for a much stiffer ride.
