B8 Alternative

I bought B8s recently from Matt at Type911. Came in a few days, for a turbo, so would fit yours. Maybe I bought the last set!
 
I bought B8's last year from a small local independent - fronts were 2 days - rears were nearly 5 weeks..... I have them with HR springs and I'm pretty happy :thumbs:

What's the ride like compared to standard? Are they noticeably harsh?

I changed everything when I did them as I had a split top mount and a worn bottom arm so took the opportunity to refresh every bush and arm at the same time.
The difference was night and day tbf. It is not as firm as I was expecting it to be, it doesn't crash around or anything.
I don't think you will find them harsh, just a little firmer.
With the springs I find it sits just about how I want it.
I was conscious I didn't want coilovers as previously had a set of Leda on an E30 M3 which I used for track days and weekends. The adjustability was great but you seem to be forever adjusting looking for a bit better. It crashed and banged its way everywhere but was fantastic on track.
I bought the turbo for weekends so wanted something that was an improvement over how my car was with standard shocks and a little lower - these have ticked the box.
