Title: purchased some lowering springs
Post by: NERF 69 on 05 January 2014, 09:22

Hi all ive just bought some h&r lowering spring on ebay without looking into it. Impulse buy you all know how it goes. Has anyone got any? If so can you give me some sort of review before i put them on? They are a 35mm drop. Thanks.

I ran lowering springs with standard shocks and they were rubbish, I changed them within 3 weeks for coilovers. The ride was far to wallowy and the handling was shocking. Also some lowering springs are too short for standard shocks so are at risk of becoming unseated.

Match them up with a decent set of shortened shocks and they'll be fine though.

These springs are epic if used with a correct combo of shockers like dom said used with standard ones the ride can be pish! if this is the desired drop u wish then don't listen to crap about coils just get a decent set of shockers! If u want lower then go the coil route!

I have H&R springs on my LCR and its fooking horrible.
Really crashy and any kind of pot hole feels like a crater.
