The only signs of wear that the H&Rs are showing is some spring sag, now given how old they are, that is pretty good going. The damping may be way off what they were when new, but I have only experienced what they're like now (which feels compliant, but could do with a bit more roll control).
Mike, you quoted this 'As we all know, the key to a fast Cesil is being able to carry more corner speed than almost anything else' This quote gives me the feeling you want something that performs well ? so don't rule out a proper fast track-race coilover just add a progressive spring and it will be a good road setup also ?
