Title: H&R front spring snapped
Post by: Mark_DF05 on August 29, 2020, 09:50:15 pm
As per title, one of my front springs has snapped - anyone know if you can purchase them individually?

They aren’t that old so would rather only have to get the front 2, googled around a bit and can only see sets of 4.

Think you need to contact H&R directly - if they will supply half kits do not expect it to be cheap.

In the past I have contacted Eibach & AP for spares - both times they said yes.
But the prices they quoted was really high - eibach expected me to pay £60 for 2 Mk4 Golf Rear ARB bushes, AP thought £80 very reasonable for a single adjustable rear Lupo spring seat - both pretty much double what I was expecting.

It may be simpler to bite the bullet, get a full set replace them all and sell your old rear springs.

Figured as much, probably get all 4 in that case. Suppose it gives me the option to change brands if I wish too  :thinking:
