Hi mate, I got H&R -20mm from ebay.de they were about 95 delivered IIRC.

I know you said you didnt want to lower it , but it not lowerd mine much at all and there a little bit stiffer than OEM .

I have added some 15 mm spacer to the rear also and looks spot on to me not TOO low and not TOO wide.

Hi Tommy...

I work for a parts supplier and we deal with the Kilen brand, they are actually made by Lesjofors which are awesome springs, come with a 3 year warranty and have never had one break in the 5 years I've been selling them.
Better than OEM! To be honest I can probably sort you out cheaper if you have an Andrew Page branch in your area?

Where you based? - I have a pair of used rear springs you are welcome to, assuming you could collect

I replaced one of my rear springs with one of these with no problems so far.

My cars lowers on 40m alround springs and it's made a huge different to the look and ride quality, much better that standard springs, I can also get over the massive speed bumps in Edinburgh lol

Interesting that as i wud have thought it made the bodywork lower as well meaning the splitter would catch more.What make did you go for to lower it?

Lowering

Yea see what u mean-that last photo shows that there is hardly any gap between the wheel arch and tyre. Perhaps she won't notice if i lower it a bit more and just say the splitter is dropping

You can't notice it unles you put to the same cars together like the above photo, I didn't realise it was even low until he pulled up beside me and I had a look lol, ride quality is much better tho, you can fly round corners haha, mind I haven't got coilovers, don't like them makes ur ride solid and you feel every single bump plus the stiffness fecks ur car, shaking and braking things, springs all the way I'd say.
