Curious as to the negative experiences (if any)owners have had after fitting.
Im contemplating having H&R's fitted to my factory suspension'd ed30, i have read all about the positive improvement in body control, however have read nothing regarding a downside... ie. more crashy or increased nvh.
Also comparisons between the two diff size H&R offerings would be welcome.
Thanks
I should add these will be for street use only.

When I had my ED30 it was the first suspension mod I had done and can honestly say that it made a massive difference over the OEM ARBs. Zero downsides apart from the cost to fit. :happy2:
Some people have had issues with creaking, but mine were ok.

I also had it on my ed30...I'm so impressed with it that I also did the same to my golfR

x 3, I've taken them off my A3 ready to put on the Mk5, were perfect with the KWs, 0 downsides again apart from labour cost, rear you can fit yourself, you need a ramp to do the front :grin:
-
Cheers Guys,
Looks like I will def get these then :happy2:the reviews say the H&R are creak free, my worry was that they introduced some sort of noise that I didn't like.
What size combo Bars did you all have?
-
x4
No downsides and creak free for the last two years
28 front and 24 rear, front soft, hard rear settings, can't go wrong :happy2:
-
I've got mine from the Aps groupbuy specs are 28/24...if your near brackley give ed a call & he will sort you out..
-
Are these worth buying for road use? or do you guys track?
I don't have the knowledge nor means to fit these myself, any ideas on labour at a garage?

Both my ed30 & golfR is for road use...u won't be disappointed mate

I supply and fit tons of these bars. Use them on my own cars too. Never had an issue. Had kw 26/23mm bars previously and switching to the H&R bars improved the handling even more.
1.5 hours to fit them isn't long.

Get them ordered my man...1.5 hrs turns into 2.5 with chatting time, but atleast you don't get dirty hands working on my heap.

Alex which setting is "soft" which is "hard" ?
-
The hole nearest the end of the bar is softest.

The only negative is not having them...or at least the rear arb is a must ;p
-
i think this gonna be my next mod with polly bushed arms
-
Excellent...are you going to get a Whiteline anti-lift kit?
-
yea I'm hoping to but I'm curious the difference between the white line & power flex stuff also do i need to do doth front & rear arms ?
-
Have enough interest in H&R to warrant another group buy :smiley:

I believe thats the best. Too stiff on the front and you can end up with understeer, which you dont want.
-
The front wheels can skitter over mid-corner bumps, too, which you don't want when cornering! I had both bars and the front lower arms poly bushed at the same time which tightens up the steering nicely.

Don't forget to fit tge walk too...every little mod helps

Sorry to hijack yr thread mate
Hi Alex...was wondering if you can do a groupbuy for the SuperPro Supaloy Control Arms Anti-lift Kit & ball joints too

Yeah I will be fully polybushing the car anyway :innocent:

Would be interested in a group buy on the roll bars plus salk

Bit of a noobish question, but you would you run these with stock suspension? Currently got H&R 20-25mm springs which im thinking of taking off and resorting to stock springs, as the tyres rub with any amount of hard corning
-
I've just listed a front for sale here :happy2:

I'd also be interested in the group buy.
-
I'm interested in a group buy. Been looking at H&R arbs for a while.
-
How much were these in the group buy inc delivery?
-
15% off retail which comes to 345 iirc.
-
Could be tempted :)
-
I'm also interested

Hurdy, I thought you had the AutoTech items on the Ed30? I can't decide between Autotech and H&R at the moment.

He did have Autotech on the ED30. The front bar snapped on the car they were then fitted to after the ED30. That car is now on H&R's and the Autotech bars went in the bin.
The brackets and bushes are a tad pants on the Autotech.

Thanks Alex. Would you recommend Front and rear or just rear?
I have sent you an email about a few other bits and pieces, but appreciate you are super busy.

Great price this from Alex, half of me is contemplating selling my 26/22mm setup for the 28/24mm :rolleye:
