Seen a set for sale, but just wanted to know if they are anygood for the csl?

Had intrax on my last car, and they were amazing.

Just thought i'd ask the question as i dont want to go backwards?

Thanks

With respect to anyone on this forum that may have HSD coilovers. They are a budget system and not in keeping with the lightweight/performance theme of a CSL.

The HSD system is good for the price and I have read that they are a good road friendly system but for a CSL you need to splash some cash and get something with a better pedigree. I can personally recommend Nitron but they are more expensive than HSD.

Good luck whichever way you decide to go.

If its just for looks, then the HSD are ok, I have fitted some and they are a good rugged product, very heavy, but decent quality.
They were very good on the road, had great adjustability and adjusted to softer than oem with lowered looks.

If for improved cornering speed, to make yourself faster on track then I dont recommend them for this. If this is your aim, save more money
