H&R 50mm Springs???
« 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.

I got mine for £135 delivered  :happy2:

Have a look on eBay.de (German eBay) that's where I got mine. They were delivered in 3days too  :wink:

And with regards to the drop, I thought there were all the same for the gti?
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?

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.
