I have been gathering parts for my suspension project on my car.

So far I have in the garage still in boxes waiting for install:

EBC Sport Rotors & Green Pads
Hotckis Caster/Camber Plates
Maximum Motorsports strut tower Brace
Maximum Motorsports Full length subframe connector

Still to order:
Springs / Stuts & Shocks

Here is a question for those who are running H&R's

I talked to Maximum Motorsports about the suspension project for my car and they recommended the H&R Race springs with either the Bilstein or Tokico illumina's. Now I checked on their site and the Race is the only one they have listed for DropTops...
My question is how do they ride on the street?? They are rated at 750-850 on the fronts, and 260-280 on the rear. Factory is 400 front, and 160 rear. I assume that the ride will not be as soft as factory but is it going to beat me and the wife to death if we decide to take a trip in the car?? The guy at MM also said that the SuperSports would work, but I would get an uneven stance due to the springs are for a Hardtop and the weight difference and the spring height difference might be drastic... I guess its one of those "gas mileage may vary" claims. Anyone running H&R's please fill me in on the ride quality of these, as I am going to order next week.

I just put these on my Cobra. The Race springs. Of course I have a coupe, but I can't say the ride is that bad. It is rough, but not to the point that it makes me uncomfortable driving. I did shocks and struts at the same time with MM Caster/camber, and a lot of other suspension goodies, and I like them a lot. Brought the car down a little, but not too low that I can't get down some otherwise questionable driveways.

Long story short, I like them a lot. Put 150 miles on them so far, and I have no complaints. LT
