I've been using the H&R springs for a couple years now. The ride is taunt... no doubt about it. Overall I like the way the van drives (I come from a sportscar / autocross / boy racer background). The only issue I have is finding shocks with enough rebound control. I have a set of KYB GR-2's up front and Gas-adjusts in the rear and they are trying hard, but failing miserably to control the upward bounce (rebound). I am going to try a pair of Koni reds up front to see if dialing in more rebound helps. Beyond that the van handles like a big fat Porsche and will be even more so with the rear sway bar installed (on my ta-do list). http://photos.yahoo.com/nobleman1962 for what it looks like Brian |
