H&R sport springs

I am looking at H&R sport springs that will lower the car 1 inch. Has any one used these before and what are your thoughts on them.
Thanks

H&R sport springs have a very good reputation and are definitly a quality (albeit expensive) product.

Had it on my MY00 C4 before. Pretty good. My only wish is that they could lower it some more... Not as low as I thought...

Contact Cargraphic. They have lowering springs that are cab specific and will work very well with your cars. A buddy of mine had them on his cab for 20,000 + miles with no problems and it looked perfect.

Cool. I was not aware of that. I have had H&R's on my 993 (perfect ride height) from miles 18,000 to 44,000 on the stock suspension. I am in need of new suspension now, but they definately served their purpose well.

I use them with Bilstein shocks, its perfect ride height for me and its a great combo for the track...again it works for me

instead of starting another spring thread, I thought I ask question on this one
how are do the H&R springs with stock shocks do on the track? I'm comtemplating doing just the spring or go with ROW, but ROW doesn't drop the car as much as the H&R.....

From what I have been told Cargraphics springs are H&R's re-branded.

PS: I love mine from Luis's friend )

For track use, you should definitely get a whole set of coilovers but for the mild street use the H&R with the stock shocks should be ok if your shocks are still in good condition. I have heard good things with PSS9's or if you have some $$$$$ than the JRZ's should do the trick for the track.

I currently have H&R sport springs with the oem shocks. Rides ok for now on the street but I'll eventually upgrade. I would not recommend this set up for the track.
