Starting to loose the will to live hunting for parts!

Hey everyone maybe someone can give me some help or advice here.

So I've decided it's treat time as it's Xmas and going for h&r springs & from what I'm led to believe they do 40mm & 20mm drop which sits the car level. (Am I right in thinking this?)

Anyway called ssdd Motorsport now who don't deal with h&r as they say they get a better deal via eibach.. Not great market IMO but hey not my business...

So demon tweeks next who I hate calling cause they seem to struggle to do anything simple so give them a challenge & I'm sure they will not be able to help..(yes I really do dislike using this company as every order I have placed has had an issue a lot more than once...)

So they say they do a kit which is 35mm & 20mm and that h&r do not even make any other kit & for them to order the springs would take 6 weeks...

Can anyone give me some advice as to where I can get, what heights they actually do and what will get the car sat level? And if possible what price am I looking at?


Cheers for any help

Performance3000 on ebay usually seem to be the best price wise.
H&R's will drop the front more than the rear from standard making the car more level.
Lots of threads with pics on here if you search.

I bought my H&R springs from Performance3000 and got them to install it for me to.

Would definitely recommend them, best price I could find and an excellent service!

yeah I have seen the pics I just wanted confirmation that the h&r would do this as I don't want reverse rake like it has now.

Yepp am sure it was around £40, i was quite shocked at that price to, as it took them about 2hours for the job.
