agreed. However if you don't need adjustability, then you also don't need race springs.

Koni Reds... although they are adjustable, just not while they are on the car. Although I have heard they make a tool for them..

They are not a bad investment. But I personally would recommend Koni struts.

dont be afraid of buying adjustable shocks.

the quality is generally going to be better with adjustable shocks and is worth the difference alone. and illuminas can be found pretty cheap on ebay, its a great value. theyll be fine with H&R race springs.
