has anyone had H&R springs in there car before cause i ve just bought a set and then found out, a few people have had the springs break on them,

this concerns me quite a bit so would like to see how much truth there is to this?????

thanks davey

I run them and know of a few more that do, I've never heard of any issues at all regarding them.

<<--- click on my profile :thumb:

first of all..... that s one nice scooby mate :p
i ve heard of a couple of people saying about them breaking but u don t wanna believe the first thing u hear so thought i d ask. plus H&R are a good name so i thought this was a bit mad

i think that they look so good lowered 50 mm

thanks davey

me and my m8 rb5boyo both run h&r 50mm springs and we live in the country on vry ruf roads and we havnt had any bother !!! and look and nice 2 sit in !

The H+R springs do not lower the turbo impreza 50mm.... this is the quoted drop for the 'Impreza' i.e the NA version (which is approx 15mm higher than turbo). So you get a 35mm approx drop....

Good point Tony.... mine dropped around 25mm initially against standard uk turbo height, since settling it may be a couple of mm more.

yes thats rite , dny no why there classed as a 50 mm drop . and my m8s rb5 sits maybe 15mm lower than my car with the same springs !

wot size are the two bolts on the bottom of the strut 18 mm ?

mine are rusted up so put wd40 on them hopefully clean them up abit other wise looks easy enough to do, even though u always get problems with these things

H&R, Eibach and Whiteline springs are all cold coiled on Wafios spring coiling machines, using very similar chrome silicon spring steel. All these companies have slightly different spring designs but normally do not venture anywhere near the limit of the steel.

Certainly, a spring can break but this is rare on springs made by these manufacturers. Now, standard springs on Mondeos, C Classes and 3 series, that is another story..............

Here's a thread that may just give you a few insights on different ride height set ups.
