why is it that thieving gits want to rape touring owners for twice the price for some slightly stiffer rear springs?

I was on the lookout for some H&R for my touring, but there's no way I'm paying over 200 bullits for some poxy springs.

I'm looking into Bilstein or Eibach shocks. There are few different ones they do, which do you reckon is the best? Theres some on euro performance which are bilstein shocks with (apex springs?), anyone tried these, opinions?..

They seem mid range in price, so around my price range. Does anyone think these are good ones?

Try ebay.de, new h&r's for around 110€, add 20€ of postage to UK and you got yourself some springs!

i bought some jamex ones a full set for £50 delivered then the next week after they were all fitted we got a rotten tech 2 sports in that had a newish set of H&R springs, the cant have been on there long as there was only minimal scratching and rust on them.
