Yeah exactly what I've heard before.
My understanding was that H&R springs were not progressive but the VWR ones were. Not sure where I heard this but please feel free to chime in if know otherwise.
With relation to the ride quality with the H&R springs can u comment?

I'm not sure about the H&R 25mm ones, but for the 35mm that I'm using, obviously I went more for looks than ride quality. I mainly do my daily driving around with ACC in 'Comfort' mode. Still, the rear end of the car will get totally crashy when going over railway lines, manhole covers or a kink on the road surface. So depending on what kind of roads you mainly drive on, I guess the H&R 35mm ones would be a hit and miss. I mainly drive on smooth suburban streets so I went for looks than comfort. No complaints for that.

Will post another report on how it behaves when I take my car for a long trip out of town, but for now I can say that it doesn't like rough surfaces.

Having had my h&r springs for over a year now, the ride has actually softened a bit but not by much.

I drive around on sport the entire time and only use comfort for interstate trips. I can't comment on whether they are progressive but they sure as **** feel good.

My car now has 35k Kim's on it and have not had a single issue with the shocks etc..

Done 20,000k on the RE050's. Time for some new wheels and tyres. Coilovers next. Better quality pictures to come soon

Great choice of wheels ^^^^^^^

Surprisingly light too for a BBS. Stock wheels feel like a ton now. Had a quick run through Yarra Boulevard late last night. Grip on the Pilot Super Sport was phenomenal! Couldn't be happier.
