Hi guys

I got a set of H&R lowering spring for my cab of Ste, He said they were a 40mm drop and they were cool for a cab, was looking at a mates cab spring and he measured it etc and mine seems like its going to be lower than 40mm winkeye

Also these are the red one's which i have been told arew the racing version :twisted:

Is there anyway i can identify these spring via the stamping on them???

Thanks

Neil

400mm HOLY SHIT :lol:

I thought most of the H&R stuff was 35mm. You can also get some that are 60mm IIRC

Kinda makes sense 4/6 = 40/60

Especially as jonbuoy has black ones too and are 40/60

Seem's you have 35mm spring's all round for a Saloon mate, that's why it look's lower.
I do believe these are not strong enough to handle the weight of the cab?
Can anyone add to this?.............if i'm wrong?
