Don't think that's just springs, possibly coil overs or even air ride.

I was looking at the standard h & r which I can get for about £155, how much were yours to get imported and is the ride very forgiving?

I paid £190 delivered and I would recommend them all day long over the 'Sport' springs. Give a drop of around 45mm and the ride comfort is virtually equal to stock springs.

I wanted a nice drop while maintaining ride comfort, so I want to stay away from coilovers. the SuperSport are perfect for my requirements.

Yeah Dave right, these spring looked mint on his car. I still havent got around to ordering these yet. Too worried about saving money for when my tensioner goes, and also need a major service soon.
