H&R Spring, Bilstein Question.
Can someone tell me how the pairing works out? And the diffrence, I am finding mixed options and am not sure what to get.
H&R Sport Springs vs. H&R Race Springs. What diffrences are there? Are they both progressive? Should I still use the 4.25 Sway Bar Endlink with both?
Bilstein HD Shocks/Struts vs. Bilstein Sport Valved Shocks/Struts? What is a good selection of these 4.
Mostly Street Use. Not just for strait line. Very Minor Track Use. Car is not a Daily Driver. Thanks.

RE: H&R Spring, Bilstein Question.
I have called maximum motorsports on this but felt I should leave my findings on here for others. This is the info the best I can remember it per Chris in sales at maximum motorsports.
Super Sport Springs. Would never run super sport's on a car used for street more the 25% of the time. They are just to low.
Sport Springs. Mostly used to replace factory springs. They are a little lower but dont have much more performance then factory. (Cobra at least).
Race Springs. Best all around Springs for street use with some track use. Lower the car and offer a stiff spring for better performance.
Bilstein HD's. Best with Race springs for most aggressive street use, with very minimal track use.
Bilstein Sport Valved. Paired with race springs will make the ride way stiffer and is only recomended for people that will spend alot of time at the track.[/align]

I can't answer your exact questions, but when I asked Maximum Motorsports they said that the Bilstein HD shocks/struts would be the best for my H&R Super Sports.

If you do a lot of driving with speed bumps then I would avoid them but otherwise go for them. They are one of the best stances you can get.

I don't necessarily agree with the comment on the SS's. I have them and my car is 100% street. You have to slow down and watch speed bumps, but they are nowhere as low as my old GT with a coil-over set up.

+1 for the coil overs being a lil bit lower. my buddys got them on his mach1 and it sits lower than mine. even after the springs settle, i dont see it being lower than his.
