Can't believe people still cut springs these days. But then again people seem to think its fine to cut lumps out of the chassis so god knows.

H&R springs, cost a few quid more than Eibach's offerings (either pro or Sportline) but they are better and give a more even drop from front to back.  :happy2:

Are they though, really?

lol
They were red but it was hard to see any name on them with them looking quite old.

Thats me orderd some new springs and booked on for tuesday anyway.

Got the springs off. Back ones wern't cut and actually in good condition.

They were actually eibach but front were cut.


This how it is now lowerd at 35mm now.

Not got a picture of it before but it was hitting the wheel arch over bumps so you can imangine.

It feels alot better now aswell not as bumpy.
