Anyone here with H&R Springs on their Coopers?
Would you mind sharing your car pics...coz I'm considering to get H&Rs..
I had a thought to buy a set of coilovers..but I realise that it takes a long time for my bank account to grow

Some of my mates told me that H&R springs drop the car relatively the lowest compared to other sport springs....please do correct me if I'm wrong...
any suggestions are welcomed. I don't really care about the ride quality as long as my Coooprr (that's what I call my Mini) looks good.
Thanx in advance

check out MOORLOCKX page. he's got some pics of his car that has H&R springs.

As Bluesmini said, I have them on my car. I understand though, there's one or two other companies that offer a little bit more drop. The H&R is about a 25mm drop. I think the KW's and Schnitzer's are in the 30 mm range. Personally, I don't think I could have gone much lower with my tire/wheel setup without scrubbing issues.

Do you know where I can get the Schnitzer springs? How much are they?

Hope that helps

I know that it's been discussed before, but I haven't gotten a straight answer: are the H&Rs more or less stiff than the H Sports?

I've also been considering H&R springs for my 2004 MCS, which seems a little softer than the 2002 & 2003 cars I've driven. How much difference do the H&R springs make to the ride & handling?

No problem with the H&R springs on my Cooper S with 215x40x17 Tyres, notibly lower than standard and less bodyroll...

You can get them from BMW - and they are lower - I heard the cost is quite reasonable.

Ken206 is running them on his MC -

I'm running on Hamann springs which are H&R - but I'm running 18" wheels. No rubbing.

ddp · Dec 15th, 2003, 03:57 PM

I'm running them as well.

Cliffywong: How much did you get the Hamann springs for?
I'm also running on 18

cliffywong · Dec 16th, 2003, 04:22 AM
