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 &#8220;StreetPro&#8221; replacement, above) &#8211; we immediately began to add our own twist on these with replacement springs that have a stiffer spring rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Product-Pictures\/HR-Suspension\/i-M7WFrnV\/0\/KPSRbJFKndMKngZCjzVM7RJTGGnsgNkCMcFgFxFJH\/X2\/IMG_8004-X2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This &#8220;TrackPro&#8221; 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&amp;R fill a niche for some of our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Product-Pictures\/HR-Suspension\/i-fKHk9KJ\/0\/MWPX9hmPpDNQW4nFB9dGLh9kZbpwsW3TXW5RPQZC7\/X2\/IMG_9002-X2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After selling the first few sets of H&amp;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&amp;R into other car makes and models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Product-Pictures\/HR-Suspension\/i-22jLr64\/0\/KTKtJ2cnd2NrcpX7NLFdKsmP6PRPh58xpbhx2pCZT\/X2\/IMG_9004-X2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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!
