I had my H&R springs fitted on Saturday and I have no complaints whatsoever :happy2:

Ride quality over standard isn't that different, also it feels much more sure footed in a bend :driver:

And it looks 8)

most uk prices are 240ish

Post by: pazz on June 17, 2009, 11:00:41 pm: Thanks given! Some good prices there. Quite a bit cheaper than the group buy on here and other UK places I've seen.

I'll get google translator onto that german one and compare part numbers etc.

When I started looking for springs, I was a little suprised when I saw that the H&R's were being advertised at well over Ã‚Â£200!

Post by: Mark_GTIV on June 17, 2009, 11:02:33 pm: H&R looks a little lower. Eibach comfort excellent and body control quite good. Can't go wrong with either I think.

Post by: TomB on June 18, 2009, 12:46:43 am: Yeah they're the ones I saw, just make sure you select UK for postage and recalculate as I'm sure the price goes up a little bit.
