Hi guys , just fitted my new bilstein b8's and h&r springs .. They have settled a little but are still sitting quite high .. More noticeable on the front .. The ride quality is amazing but I'd like it a touch lower to be honest .. Do h&r offer more than one model of lowering spring , different heights etc ?

What springs are you guys running and how does it look ? Feel free to post up a pic ..

Here's my springs and arch gap ..

I thought they had multiple versions. Quick Google brought this page up:
http://www.hrsprings.com/mobile/applica ... suspension

Seem there are different lowering heights

Best part of £600 mate .. You might get them slightly cheaper if you look hard enough .

Sits perfect what wrong with that?

do you want it lower so you can catch the arch lip when turing and the full on stance/moron look?!

Isn't it possible to use some e90 top hats to lower the front?

H&R do a few different height springs. They go OE - Sport - SuperSport - Race, in order of highest to lowest. The OE and Sport are the same stiffness but the SuperSport and Race get stiffer.

Which did you purchase?

yes you can, best to use them with -40mm springs though, if you still want a sump left the next day otherwise knock yourself out by combining them with -60mm springs.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
