fr being lowered now

[simmytt]

I am sat in stealth racings showroom waiting for my car to be lowered, i have gone the h&r spring route as i find the ride on the fr fine so just doin it for looks, lucky they have a wireless network to ease the wait, i have taken some befor shots so i will post up some pics when its done.

Have you kept the std shocks? Might be tempted by this route myself before going the coilover route next year.

Before and after pics (after a bit of settling on new springs, don't forget that) would be welcome.

Post pics up as soon as mate im looking at getting these! would appreciate it!

 

[simmytt]

all done just springs changed, ride quality has improved its a lot smoother but as stated before i had no problem with original set up, i think it may well settle a bit more yet.

befor is the top one

Looks much better mate!

Nice one

That drop looks very very nice....good decision!!

If I had to say anything bad....maybe a tiny smidge high at the rear but if my eibachs look that good Ill be very happy.

how low did it actually drop it by? looks lower than my Eibach's.

Simmy what was the cost and where is the garage located as I am in the midlands and wanted to do same on mine when I get it in a couple of weeks.

That looks spot on...

cheers guys, stealth racing is in southam warwickshire they are respected vag group tuners , job took about half a day, take your laptop as they have a wireless network so you can pass the time away on the www, total cost inc 4 wheel alinment was £350. I dont know how much it drops the fr by, i would guess about 30mm, i know the h&r defo lower the car more than the eibach's thats why i had them, a few people have said that it may settle a bit more after time but i dont know if this is true or not.

 

[TDI PEP]

Thanks for that will give them a call to book in.

Spot on, I really cannot recommend H&R more tbh....should have gone for the full kit

And if you had a spare £1600+ you could have bought your H&R Springs gold-plated in 24k gold

Why I wonder ???

Rofl!! Wicked...I am going to save up for those!

Very nice. It'll settle too I would have thought.

I like the slight higher-in-the-rear euro stance anyway.

Hi Simmytt, can you please tell me what H&R model do you have? is it the 'Sport Spring' or the 'Super Sport Springs'? thank you in advance for your response.
