The SHS coils are essentially KW V1's but tuned slightly softer for street.
As with the V1's, these are stainless and have the "inox" coating / Lifetime warranty etc...
I chose these because I didn't want an extreme drop - just enough to remove the fender gap. I also wanted to maintain a near-stock ride while still enhancing cornering / reducing body-roll. They're also decently priced at $1095. The kicker is that HPA is local and they're a reputable VW tuner.
I took these with my iPhone:
Before:
Fender to Ground: ~26.2"
After:
Fender to Ground: ~25.1"
Now, I wouldn't recommend these for someone who's going to track their car - probably too soft for that application, but if you're looking to rid your car of the evil fender gap and at the same time improve the car's handling...these are a pretty good option. I really notice a reduction in squat / dive when accelerating / braking...the reduction in body roll is also noticeable - I'm quite happy.
I was worried about rubbing as the VMR's are 8.5" wide ET45, so they poke more than stock...and so I did the 'Fender Screw mod' just in case. I haven't rubbed yet - but really haven't pushed the car that hard.
I'm getting an Alignment this weekend after which I'll drive more aggressively and update with my thoughts.
