Doug Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 My car went in to have some H & R colivers fitted. It's still being done at the moment but I've had to come back in to work so I'll post up thoughts on them later. As I left the fronts had been taken off and we looked at the existing springs. It seems my "standard" springs have RS*R written on them,and he car was sitting about 60mm lower than standard which would explain the mess I've made of the bottom of my car up to now. My question for the meantime is though, has anyone heard of RS*R springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Thanks for that Nic, as a side note what are your opinions of them? Gavin, It was about £950 including VAT fitting and alignment. Now that everything is on I can only describe the ride as a revalation. It is sooo much smoother. At the moment the car is about 30mm lower than standard and that is about the halfway setting. I'll probably leave it at that for now to see how it copes with all the various speed humps. As for the left rear knocking I've felt since I had the car that was due to the passenger side rear not having a bump stop on and probably as a consequence the shock had started leeking. Not happy as the car was sold as being standard but hey, I guess that's just life. Just glad I changed everything and not just plump for new springs.

Nic Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Doug Sorry no experience of the brand, I see a lot of cars though here with the stickers on and shops advertising the parts so they are fairly popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
