Lowering springs vs ride comfort?

[rllmuk]

I'm trying to find a happy medium, probably 2-3 track days a year tops and our daily drive.I'm already putting parts together to improve on braking and reduce unsung weight.

If the springs make enough of a difference I'm on board, but I'm not getting carried away coil overs etc

Is this for an LCR?

Just strap yourself in good the car is a bit of a beast

lol is it modified like ? Apart from lowering springs of course

Well to update as promised. My H&R's were fitted today. The stance is perfect and level, the ride is actually softer than standard and takes bumps better. A lot smoother on the road and not crashy in the slightest. Highly recommend these springs.

That is great to hear mate, so H&R springs improve the ride. I might have to invest!

 

[G4reth]

Yeah definitely worth the upgrade. I got the springs and fitting for under £190 too. Considering that the car is on original shocks (car has done 118k miles) I'm very happy.

I found my sportlines quite harsh and I removed them a week before our son was born, still off the car now sat in the garage 9 months later.

The H&R's are a definite step up and nicer ride

I agree with G4reth, had my H&Rs on for about a month now and the ride is a lot smoother, still feel every bump as you would expect but it's not as harsh as stock springs and improves the look of the Leon greatly! Worth while upgrade in my opinion.

Where did G4reth get his H&R's from ? Seems like a good deal with fitting included !

£190 is an amazing deal including fitting! The cheapest place for the H&Rs that I have seen is from a German seller on eBay, £130. That's where a few people on here have got theirs from, including me.

I got them from the Germany EBay link. Quick delivery time too, and about half the price of H&R's in the UK.
I only got the fronts fitted by my mate who is a mechanic that's why it was cheap. I fitted the rear springs with Daniel M.

 

[p.harrison92]

Fair enough! It's the front ones that are a pain anyhow ! Thanks for the link

Yeah they're meant to be a nightmare, mine were easy no seized bolts or anything but I guess I was lucky.

 

[p.harrison92]

I did them all on my old fiesta, the front ones were a nightmare, and that was whilst using an air compressor and impact gun !
