Further Info:
H&R only manufactures springs of the best quality. The strength, resiliency, and durability prevent them from sagging or setting. All H&R springs are made of a special steel structure to provide the ultimate quality and performance spring and shot peened to increase life of the spring by over 200%. Every spring is tested and cleared before being packaged and sent out from Germany. Reduced body roll and improved handling is to be expected.
H&R designs all Sport Springs to provide excellent ride quality while still allowing the drop on the vehicle between 1.5” and 1.8” on average. Wheel well gap is reduced for a much cleaner, aggressive stance. Center of gravity will drop allowing less body roll and improving the car’s ability to handle. Even better aerodynamics is experienced at higher speeds due to the car’s lower relation to the ground. This is H&R’s best selling set of lowering springs.

Sport Springs Spec-R is increase to the optimal rate that the stock shocks can handle. Higher performance shocks are not required, but recommended.
Spec R springs are wound with the same engineering as our sports springs. With the exception of stiffer rates and slight change in ride height; you can expect the same characteristics as our sports springs.

Tanabe NF210 Supreme Ride Comfort
The NF210 coil spring features a tasteful drop, and produces the best overall ride quality and comfort for a performance lowering spring. The lowered stance of the NF210 gives the car an elegant pose, while the spring rates, which are only slightly raised (up to 5% over stock) retain factory ride quality settings.
This coil spring is extremely popular with luxury tuned vehicles, as well as those with larger diameter wheels that want to eliminate fender gap, but maintain excellent driveability while reducing the risk of damage to wheels that is associated with stiffer suspensions.
For those who demand the best comfort from a lowering spring
All of our coil springs feature SUSTEC 210 Technology. Sustec 210 Technology is a series of manufacturing methods developed to create a stronger, thinner, and lighter spring using only high tensile steel, without adding additional elements that could affect quality, durability, or price.
"210" stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever acheived in a coil spring. The Tanabe Shiga factory in Japan is home to some of the most advanced, unique coil spring machines and processes in the world!
