    Has anybody put the H&R sport springs on their F355? If so, how did it affect the street ride and how much improvement in handling? Did the ride get rough?

    I have the H&R springs on my 355. The handling is much improved, I would say about 20% more harsh on the ride comfort. But overall a great improvement.

    What poundage are they and where do you get them from?

    Did you have the geo re-done after fitting? Any noticable effect on understeer/oversteer now? I get farr to much body roll and am assuming the springs are worn so need to get new ones. Wondering how much better and stiffer the H&R springs are compared to OEM. Or, would the Fiorano Springs be a better option?

    I haven't driven the car really hard on the turns before/after the spring install, so I can't comment on the oversteer/understeer. But the body roll is drastically reduced with the springs in addition to lowering the car. I haven't looked into Fiorano springs, so I can't comment on that either.

    I sold a set to a customer in GA and he said that the overall feel of the car was drastically changed. He loved them and he said he was suprised that the comfort wasn't compromised as much as he thought it would be.

    I'm ordering a few sets to keep in stock but until then:

    Note we do pricematch all of our competitors also.

    Kevin, are H&R considered one of the best out there? Do you know what the spring rate is compared to stock? They are progressive unlike the stock springs correct?

    Tony,

    H&R is a very reputable company and personally I think their springs are high quality. I wouldn't consider them the "best" but for what's out for the F355 currently it's my pick for sure.

    As far as the spring rates I would love to know. I've contacted H&R several times and they'll allways "get back to me". So while the information is insufficient the springs are great from what my customer told me.

    And lastly they are progressive springs.

    If there anything further I can assist you with let me know.

    Forza,
    Kevin
