I have H&R coilovers on my GS 400 and I love them!

The only minor issue is that the rear height adjustment is somewhat
limited bacause the entire shock body is not threaded. Mine are all
the way down in the rear, but I could get it 6mm lower if I disassembled
them and removed the lower perch "jamb nut." Then I could set the
spring perch nut all the way down and bottom them out on the threads
for a bit of additional lowering.

As far as performance and ride quality is concerned, I'm not sure it
gets any better than this combination (they use custom-valved shocks
manufactured by Bilstein).

He said he had a new Toyota Avensis in an earlier thread..so unless he switched cars, that's my guess. And btw..KW's are great coilovers.
