H&R Springs Fitted Today - Before & After Pics
« on: January 30, 2010, 06:36:39 pm »
Decided to get the H&R springs fitted today, so my mate and i got stuck in.

The H&R Springs


Before Lowering...





Work In Progress...




Lowered...






Love the new stance, Very similar to OEM when cruising and stiffer when cornering hard. Really a big imporvement.

Cheers Davie

Looks brilliant, I can't fault the H&R's on mine one bit.
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

Mine has no sound proofing under the bonnet either.  I have always wondered whether it was like that from that factory or whether it had been removed.

Think it was introduced with 08 onwards S3's
