H&R Sport Springs are a progressive rate lowering spring kit that drops the car by an amount that depends on the model and factory suspension (see the lowering rows below), trimming the fender gap and lowering the center of gravity to reduce body roll while keeping a comfortable ride. The springs are made from (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel, shot-peened, and each one is tested before it leaves the ISO 9001 certified H&R plant in Germany.
