Title: H&R 50mm Springs???
Post by: S66_OTP on December 08, 2011, 10:01:04 am: Been looking at purchasing these for my 08 3dr GT Sport however I was unsure whether I'd be better off getting the 35mm drop. Has anyone got these fitted & what is the ride quality like? Pics would also be appreciated for some inspiration :wink:

Getting quoted approx £300 by someone that I know so as far as I know they are available for the UK.

Mine were 35-50mm drop so this might be where some adverts are confusing :wink:

So will the GTi ones fit the GT with no problem. Is that the drop on yours in your sig? How is the ride with them fitted?

Post by: biffobear on December 17, 2011, 09:25:20 pm: i was on german ebay. (cant speak a word of german) but kind of picked up enough to guess that was the springs, i got my last set of h&rs from e-parts, tried their webpage but there was a problem with it. i remember they had them sent direct from germany when i ordered them.
