Default H&R Lowering springs? Anyone have them fitted
Hi,


As per title wanting to know what they're like before I get a set.

I had a look online but cant really find many reviews.

I am looking at the H&R's that are said to lower the car by 35mm.

Thanks,
Matt.

Not only that your car may bottom out if you use it for a daily commute. I want some but gonna go for 20mm drop front and 15mm back
