Default H&R spacers, pros & cons?

I'm thinking about getting the h&r spacers 15/20mm...has anyone had issues with this brand? Will it damage the suspension in any way? Anyone recommend it?

thanks!

I have a set of bolt on H&R spacers for sale, $200, that fit our cars. I only put about 115 miles on it. I decided to get different rims and therefore don't need the spacers.
15 front and 20 mm rear is the perfect setup for stock rims, perfectly flush. See my post here for more details:

H&R is one of the best brands for spacers and only brand I would trust. I paid in euros and mine shipped directly from Germany, cost me about $285 US.

I have them... I would have gotten them in black had I known that was an option when purchasing but other then that they are perfect and I've never had a complaint.

Has anyone noticed a bouncier ride after putting on spacers? or ride still feels the same?

I don't see how it would make for a bouncier ride, 15mm isn't that crazy. Just beware if you use discount tires for balancing they won't even touch the car if you have spacers on. It was a pain when I had them on my BMW, I ran almost 20mm on it and didn't notice really much ride difference. It can put more wear on the bearing potentially though. I don't understand why the H&R are so expensive, $200 really? I was looking to add some to my stock rear wheels. I don't know if I would personally run spacers on the front though.

Shouldn't make a bouncier ride.
