Hello

what I now for sure (I have driven them but not for long distance and not in a circuit) is that the Kerschers (with one piece spring) is more comforty for street use and the car sits reletively high even in the low positions. The HR;s (from CSP lets say) with the two spring setup (normal+helper) are a lot stifer and a lot stifer also to the rebound (because of the bilsteins probably?) so I think they are made more for the circuit. Also the car sits even lower to their normal position (if you want to sit it more upwards you have to preload a lot which makes them even stiffer). As I said those are my remarks of a few kms ride in normal speed, hope that helps a little

Swap to the 2 bolt stuff. Its an easy swap, and gives you many more options.

I made my own struts..
