Yes, H&R are the business. Are they stainless now? If not, get KW. Or, get KW anyway - I prefer oil filled shocks instead of gas filled ones. Less bumpy.

From the H&R website, www.hrsprings.com:
So gas-filled then? IMO definitely worth the outlay if you have the funds to go for themPCS Coil-Overs
Coil over suspension is the ultimate expression of high-performance handling, and now H&R Special Springs takes this technology to the next level with its new PCS Coil Overs. Like H&R's original Coil-Overs, PCS Coil-Overs are engineered for street use, but have a number of new features designed for the enthusiast who desires a manual shock dampening feature.
In addition to state-of-the-art inverted damper technology and adjustable ride height, PCS Coil Overs feature an external adjustment knob that allows the user to simultaneously adjust rebound and compression. Nose-diving under hard breaking is virtually eliminated, which effectively reduces braking distance. And unlike traditional twin-tube shock absorbers, H&R's mono-tube gas shock absorbers eliminate foaming of the damper oil, even under extreme conditions.

The main thing here is the dual control over rebound and compression. KW offers this too (albeit seperate control for further versatility) but only on it's Variant 3 line, which is pretty expensive.
Does is say how much the PCS range costs?
Still not convinced gas is better than oil, I quite like the progressive feel of oil as opposed to the always-harsh gas shocks. KW uses Koni inserts in its Var. 2 and 3 lines, the brand preferred by nearly all F1 teams.
