When we dropped the Bilstein brand (due to a completely loss of faith in their stocking ability) in 2025, after carrying it for dozens of years, we already had a replacement German monotube brand in mind to fill that entry level coilover gap – H&R!
H&R carries a catalog FULL of very robust, inverted monotube strut coilovers and shocks. We began exploring this brand in early 2025 with the S197 Mustang offering, then after digitally rating the included springs and offering these assembled with Vorshlag top mounts (for our “StreetPro” replacement, above) – we immediately began to add our own twist on these with replacement springs that have a stiffer spring rate.
This “TrackPro” offering replaced the missing suspension option for this S197 chassis that we used to fill with a Bilstein B6 monotube that we modified heavily to turn it into a coilover. Over $1600 less than the least costly monotube coilover we carry for this S197 model, the H&R fill a niche for some of our customers.
After selling the first few sets of H&R for the S197 chassis, we dove into the next car model: the S550 Mustang. We have already made the StreetPro and TrackPro versions of these, and will keep expanding our coverage with H&R into other car makes and models.
And while these are just ride height adjustable, with no damping adjustment, for some folks that is a good thing. We also sell each setup with only one spring package, not a choice like with other brands we carry. No knobs to turn and no spring rates to choose = less chance of tuning yourself into a corner! Call us at Vorshlag if you have questions about these entries or other car models.
