Default Lowering Springs

Carrying on from the suspension thread and not wanting to confuse buying coilovers with springs my research on the site has resulted in KG/MM DR21 race springs coming out tops with best ride height 35mm/best match to standard shocks and generally just the best spring out there.

Though there is no reference to them on the UK forum. Any reasons for this or do other owners just prefer eibach/espelir ?

Im looking to get some quite soon so if anyone knows how much/where to get them from....

Also are they easy enough to fit ?

Apologies if I don't reply to the replies as im off out now but hope to get plenty of input when i get back on sunday !

Thanks all

Care to be slightly more specific about said "suckers" - perhaps a manufacturer / model / approximate price ?

yeeph, sorry about that, I was at work and in a rush to go home.
The picture is pretty grim as well. The white writing is the part number etc.

The Springs are H&R
The part numbers are 29417VA and 29417HA
Not sure about price.
There ia a nice web site at.

If you want a closer look let me know.

Why not go for the $400 Ground Control kit with height adjustable spring perches and Eibach springs. I prefer the Ground Control/Eibach offering to KG/MM because the height adjustability gives you the ability to corner balance the car. Also, although Ground Control recommends 340lb front and 380lb rear, you can specify your own spring rates if you so choose.
