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:

DPM doing a deal on here but the Eibach's are better value for money IMO. :)

Pazz, the best price I've seen is on eBay.de, £165 delivered to the UK if I remember correctly, and thats with a weak pound!

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 £200!

H&R looks a little lower. Eibach comfort excellent and body control quite good. Can't go wrong with either I think.

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.
