H&R Lowering springs 30mm????

[Gildo]

hey all,
im thinking of getting the H&R 30mm lower springs.
does anyone have a pic of their car lowered 30mm?

Has anyone on here lowered an sri 30mm , just wondering how low the front will be and if it will be a real hassel.

[mr_sikma]

how much are they?

[Gildo]

i was quoted $550,

does anyone else have any suggestions to which springs to get

[R3N]

I'm not sure if the barina SRis have lowered suspension but 30mm lowering relates to the stock form. ie. if SRis are 10mm lower than factory, the H&Rs will only lower them another 20mm.

Hope that makes sense

[mr_sikma]

i have used pedders before and so have my mates!

[ultim8DTM5]

Except Pedders are terrible.

SRi suspension is lower than normal Barina as standard.

[JakeSRIT]

hey man

i got my lowered by midas and its great, turns on a dime, only got springs done 2, i think it cost like 350 or something

well worth it tho

Pedders are designed for aussie conditions. If I get my car lowered, then it would be them, or whiteline.

[mr_sikma]

What experience have you had with pedders?

I am running Pedders all round in my Sigma turbo. Handles well, bit hard, but its damn low! Would be different in an older car to a newer car i spose.

Mate has them in his 250kw XR6T. Alot better than standard he said, and I am 100% sure XR6T springs / supsension would be better than a standard barinas!

Pedders are crap. End of story. Get Kings or something better, like H&R or Tein or Bilstein.

[R3N]

Kings are not bad for the money. But if you want better quality... Eibachs, H&Rs and Bilsteins are the way to go.

I'm not exactly sure why Pedders is crap... but something along the lines of them not even trusting their own products

[BarinaSRi King]

I would also like my car lowered. Pedders said they can't, due to front spoiler would scrape the ground. Who else should I try? Maybe Fulcrum?

[ultim8DTM5]

I've had Pedders' springs fall apart after not much mileage at all.

Built for Aussie conditions? Ah ye wa.

[sparks]

put pedders in mine 3 days ago after having white lines in for 8 months drives well slightly softer ride now..

[mr_sikma]

well they come with warranty so any problems take them back!

also i am pretty sure that pedders, monroe etc are all the same.

different names for different people ;)

[Greg K]

had pedders in mine and i must say they were crap!!

they were great for about 2 months and then i had big troubles with them and stuffed up the car! in terms of handling, it wasnt anything to write home about!

now that i got back from o/s, i have just upgraded to bilstein shocks with eibach springs. Now thats what i call handling!!!!!!
the car feels 100000000 times better! and has unreiveled handling! also put on a whiteline swaybar!

word of advice, dont be afraid to spend money on good quality products!
i got what i paid for when i bought pedders springs,
and now i got what i paid for with the new setup!

i dont think pedders have tested their springs on a astra, vectra or barina like the german brands eibach, h&r.

i went from a 60mm drop with the pedders, to a 35mm drop and the difference is amazing!

[Namus]

that's it, fulcrum was the other one...go them if u want better than kings, but can't afford bilstein, tein etc.

[anicorsa]

I'll be going for a set of H&R sport springs soon, when i can get the day off to get them fitted.

I got quoted $600, fitted from TCCA.

[zoidberg]

I had 40mm King springs in my Astra for about 12 months and I was quite impressed with them, especially seeing they were only 440 fitted.

I could tell the shocks were on there way out so i decided i wonted something even better.....I bought H&R coilovers, all's i can say is i'll never use anything else other than H&R again, they are so good in every aspect, comfort, ajustability, road holding, improved breaking, car sits flat

[Namus]

how much did u pay for the H&R coilovers (fitted)?

[zoidberg]

I paid...............enough :)
