Default H&R springs

Has anyone used these on a classic?

if so how do you rate them?

does anyone know who would be best to buy them from?

and what is the part number for the 50mm drop springs?

Cheers all

I have -50 H&R spring on my classic. Gives a car a very firm ride. downside is it make the car very low and you need to be carefull with speed bumps etc.

It's a good drop all around... even though they advetise a -50mm drop in reality it drops the car 25-30mm against the turbo spring height.
I don't have any knocking/clunking at all and no tyre rub even with load.
They are progressive springs so even though they are firm they are still comfortable.
If you go 18" with the wheels as well were some people go wrong is the size... mine are 18" x 7.5" with 215/35/18's fitted... I have heard of 18" x 8" without troubles as well.

Sam, I did see some pictures recently of them on a new age car and the ride height looked quite good pm me if you want me to mail them to you.

You can get them from here, i spoke to a mate of mine who works there and she said they can get them no probs at all, they should work on your shocks but they will need to be in good condition or they might go pop due to the lower stance that they will adopt...........i think
