Am I missing something?
$973/4 equals $243 per corner. That includes progressive rate lowering springs which are certainly not a "must have" for anything motorsport.

Doesn't seem like much of a "must have" to me.

On the other hand...
4 koni yellows - $575
Ground Control or OPM Coilover kits with Eibach ERS Springs - $400 to $450

For about the same price you have the same shocks but with proper springs.
Go figure...

Well, I will say that I think the Cup Kit is a very good setup for the street. Especially when you get yours at the price I did. On the other hand, I haven't even taken them out of the box.

As far as autocross goes however... I'm skeptical that any "off-the-shelf" setup is going to do anything but leave you pushing around the course.

yes you missed it H&R cup kit NOT the threaded koni sus. no question just trying to pass on a good deal for fellow auto-x's and i'm getting slammed ,owell. H&R claims street / race use.

Youre not getting slammed. You're getting questioned.

Slammed - Hey dumbass... You're clueless and have no idea what you're talking about. **** off.

Questioned - Am I missing something because that doesn't seem like a great deal or a "must have" to me?

Scott, who still doesn't see any of this as a great deal or an autoX must have. And also noticed that only the fronts on the cheap H&R kit are adjustable.
No... definately not a must have.

i know the ad says that just the fronts are adjustable but they are the full koni adjustable shocks thats why i'm trying to clue you guys in on it. i didn't believe it myself when i opened the box i was shocked.

I think you got lucky and they sent you the wrong thing.
Congratulations and I'd keep this to myself if I were you .
