Cool H&R Springs?

Hopefully getting the STi type R soon (R-reg)...
Straight away wanna change the wheels for 18's, would also like to Lower it but don't wanna go for coilovers again...
So am thinking of just a set of springs for now... dunno if I'm right, but I think H&R do a 50mm drop spring...?
Wheres the best place to ge them from, and how much???

I can fully recomend them mate, Handling is loads better now and ride quality is excellent not harsh at all.

www.motorsportworld.co.uk is where i got mine from mate , £170 they aint cheap but glad went for them instead of a cheap set and ruin the ride.

How did you get on with fitting these springs? Any tips, have considered these springs for a while now but still unsure. I am currenlty running 18" on 215/35/18, but wanted to go wider to 225mm for some rim protection.
Are you on 17" or 18"?
Were are you based in the Midlands, pm me if you like. Just after some more info on them.

I`m running 17s mate, so couldn`t really advice you on rubbbin issues with 18". I think you need 215/35/18 tyres on classic.

As for fitting them it was a doddle , just make sure you line the top springs cups in correct position else they knock.

Also the bottom two bolts that hold the strut on, the top bolt is the one for adjusting the camber so mark it up else the camber will be out. (Probably make more sence when you take it apart)
