Hey all,

Thought about lowering my S a few months back but decided against it in the end but now thinking about it again lol.

Please could anyone who has the H&R springs with sport suspension post feedback on the springs?

Please include tyre choice/size and give your comments on the ride before and after fitting the springs.

Thanks,
Kev

I've got 'em. I like 'em.

They're stiff, for sure... but not horribly so. I'm still running the Dunlop Runflats.

Ride before, though softer, was really tall and there was a ton of bump stear mid corner on bad pavement. Hated it. Lowered, that's now gone.

REally bad pavement & potholes are best avoided, though.
