Default about to buy H&R coilovers - looking for feedback

Tirerack has these for $1033 - not bad for full coilovers from my research. Anybody have these on the car already? I'd love to see pics, get feedback on the handling, etc.
Thanks!

OK- according to H&R these are still in development. Why are they advertised on TireRack, ClubRSX, etc.?

ummm, if you are spending over a grand, you might as well go with tein's.. but that's just my opinion. i would never go h&r's.

Care to add why? Is there something wrong with H&R that I should know about?
BTW, local dealer in Charlotte will beat that price when the H&R's come in at $999... Tein's are still around $1500, right?

tein's are better full coil-overs. h&r makes good suspension parts, but tein is like the 'versace' of suspension (imo). tein's run $1099 i believe. if you have a hookup on parts you can get at around $900. a friend of mine's car has tein's, and the ride is really smooth. i'm on ground controls and getting koni red struts, so my ride will be good, but still, tein's are your complete suspension, more specifically, coil-over solution. you're gettin your shocks/struts and spring, all built in a bomb *** full coil-over solution. go tein.

edit: sorry, that wasn't a very helpfull post. Once you've taken a ride at 90 mph through the twisties on tein coilovers and you notice that you feel as safe as if you were doing 50 in a straight line, you'll know "why tein's" and not h&r's. IM Fowler for info about tein's. his EK hybrid has the tightest suspension EVER and it's all about the tein's .

definitely, a buddy of mine has the tein SuperStreet's on his 240. Comfortable and smooth when cruising, but stiff when you need them to be... Probably the most comfortable 400 mile ride I have ever taken.

if you look at 95%+ of my posts, they are all positive. if i have something negative to say, i usually hold back unless i think the person wants criticism or just really seeks advice. not being a b*tchass is not a bad thing.
