Still got the Barney in the back! Haven't taken it out yet, hoping the longer it stays in there the lower it gets! Will take it out on Monday most likely when I get back to my flat to return the rubble!

Will keep you posted, Josh had a look at it today and just laughed...

H&R Springs

Post by Si_GTi »

After reading quite a bit about these H&R springs I've been having a look about on the internet but can't seem to find anyone who stocks them :shock: kinda odd don'tcha think?? But anyway, does anyone know of a (preferably localish) supplier or possibly a mail-order company where I can get them from?

Cheers

NEWS FLASH UPDATE!

It's official, my car is no longer a skip!

Kev @ JBS has been in touch with Eibach and made a complaint about the springs I had, which apparently meant to lower by 30mm (in fact it was about 5mm!) and they have sent out some Sportline ones that lower by approximately 50mm in exchange!

I've had them fitted today and they have made such a difference, the car handles better and the drive, I feel is a lot smoother too! Well chuffed to bits!

It was great of JBS to chase Eibach and get to it sorted, they've done a great job! Can't fault it!

Hey Neilw,

I'll try and get some pics but can't be sure when I'll be able to post them for you, if you aren't in a hurry then I'll try my best to get them up as soon as possible.

Cheers!
