It's not that bad, no where near as bad as some are making out coilovers are worse. This coming from someone who's had H&R fitted to two of his Ibiza's and have fitted FK and KW coilovers to other cars. Not to mention been a regular passenger in a car with Bilstien PSS's, SPAX and various other coilovers.
Maybe i've just been lucky, or is it because I'm getting a different kit to the rest of you?? (Yes there are two kit options).

ive got the "sport" cup kit, they also make a "comfort" cup kit, wish i'd gone for the latter now
dont agree with you there sorry craig, myself and philw had back to back drives of each others cars, his on fk highsports and mine on H+R, his is hard but the damping rebound is alot more controlled giving the feel of a smoother ride

Ive drive both Daves and Phil's cars... Phil's car is far nicer. Ive got the same setup as Dave, and its harsh.
Looking for alternatives now, looking at konis now.

Ive had H&R on my car for a while now. It depends on what tyres/wheels you have as well. Its was a little harsh on 17's though much nicer now im on 16's.
It'll "look" a good drop if thats anything to go by. Anythings better than the standard suspension though.
Dont forget to get the camber adjusted once you've fitted it.

Hmm, i've got the full on Cup Kit and don't think its that bad, yes its harsh but my friends Mk3 Cabby Golf with Supersport coilovers is a lot worse! Also on the same stretch of road I found my H&R to be more comfortable than a friend with FK coilovers.
However it may also depend on the road surface and how its been layed, there is the odd road I find it really bumpy but just live with it. If your after comfort why bother with sports suspension?

The FK highsport coillies really a harsh ride? Thinking of getting some beacuse of the aparent 'good' ride/ handling combo.
I guess like it has been mentioned, wheels/tyres do have quite a big impact on the ride quality too.
