H&R lowering springs?

well that probably means that no one has them. how is that lame?

 

Hey, just saw this thread, I ordered H&R springs a couple of days ago, they're a bit expensive but since i had a great experince with this company i wouldnt mind paying the extra money since i know that these springs are worth it, i will be receiving my springs within next week and i'll install them on the same day so review and photos will come as soon as they're installed! cant wait

 

were did u buy ur springs at and how much? coz i saw sum on ebay for 230 + 30 for shipping and oprionimports for 247 w\o shipping

I ordered the,m from a local dealership for H&R products in Dubai, cost was around 400$ USD including shipping, the guy said that he will import them from germany!

 

I was also looking into getting H&R springs. Lowers vehicle 1.4" front & 1.3" rear. They are expensive but worth it. Good reputation. Hope this helps.

 

ya H&R has a very good reputation, had them on my Fabia and the handling was unbelievable with them.. duno if the real product will look like the photo when you install them.. will find out tomorrow :wink:

 

Pic ? I was looking into getting these as well, can u post a pic ?

 

Here are 2 photos i have so far, I willtake some proper photos soon when the springs settle down a bit more

 

oh man looks good! i might even start considering getting those springs. lol

 

wow thats a nice Drop , very clean .. now im intrested , wonder if 18s are the biggest u can go with that kinda of drop... hows the ride?

 

You could go with 19 with this drop, but it has to be a low profile tire, you can go with 235/35 19" tires! they will be almost the same..

Ride is fine on normal roads, a bit harsh on rough surfaces, but again your gaining handling and losing comfort in here, handling is just awesome now, iam amazed by the grip with the springs!

 

AMAZING! im odering! you should put up some "proper pictures" as you say!

 

I will post some photos this weekend when i have some free time 8)

 

wow looks nice!

 

For the H&R Springs, did you need a camber kit, or is a re-alignment sufficient so I don't blow out my struts? Trying to decide between these or the WORKS springs. Since I'm fairly new to modding, how long will my struts last with the car lowered?

 

unless i'm mistaken, with almost any lowering springs, you'll need an alighntment, and there isn't too much u can do about ur stock struts, think of it like this... ur car is lower, so ur car's suspension is in the same position (but in normal circumstances) as it would if you had A LOT of weight in the car... get where i'm going w/ this?

 

I kind of understand... I think? No need for camber kit from other threads I've seen, but an alignment is necessary to protect my struts from blowing out prematurely. From the sounds of it, if I lower my car, the struts are going to give either way? Or am I mistaken?
