H&R has released a set of RSS+ coilovers for the Audi R8 that includes Mono-tube shock design for precise control, high-tech lightweight aluminum threaded shock bodies, and external shock damping. Clad in a black hard-anodized finish for good looks and corrosion resistance, they feature damping adjustments that simultaneously fine-tunes rebound and compression damping for optimum balance and control. Special lightweight H&R HF ID race springs contribute to reduce the unsprung weight and further enhance performance. The kit is height adjustable, allowing lowered ride height by approximately 0.30 to 0.75 inches in the front and 0.75 to 1.3 inches in the rear. And as with all H&R components, these coilovers are 100 percent made in Germany under ISO 9001 quality assurance standards.
