    Default New h&r coilovers for g8

    So I am looking into getting these called them and there tech guy wasn't too savy couldn't give details of the springs. But I am excited to see if any one else has bought these? They came out a month ago ?

    Looks sketchy to me.
    Using H&R's web site, it says the fitment is 51661. Look that up with a google search and they fit a Ford focus.
    Any of the stores that have them listed are not ones I'd by from. I would wait a month and check again.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I'd like to know what the difference is between them and BC or Mav's. They're MSRP is quite a bit more.

    I imagine they are like the other H&r coilovers just adapted to the g8. And not like the BC coilovers with there name on them.

    I have heard both good and bad about H&R's coilovers.
    But I'm sure there better the the BC variants.
