H&R 35/55 springs - what dampers?

Post by Baasch »

Hi everyone

I installed the H&R 35/55mm lowering springs on my 6r 1 month ago, and the dampers are shot already. Now this is not a huge issue as I was considering replacing them anyway. What dampers would you go with for these springs? I wouldn't mind going a bit lower in the back, but generally I'm happy with how it sits at the minute..

Hey there i have the exact same Springs and ive had them in for about 5 months now and everything is still 100%.
I always wanted to know also what kind of dampers would be the best fit for them but always forgot to ask :p

Ah great... Those are the ones directly comparible to the factory ones, am I right?
Would the Bilstein B6 ones be too harsh on uneven roads?
