I understand the standard Bilstein B14 kit uses H&R progressive rate springs. Any particular reason you changed yours?
Yes, yes and yes.
The standard springs are a bit average, probably more comfortable though. I'm not big on progressive springs- don't set as well for a corner, more coils than necessary for the travel. The progressive springs felt like I was always hitting the bump stops on bad roads- the reality was that it was likely coil bound.

What do you want to do with the car?
