H&R Race Springs deliver the most aggressive lowering H&R offers for spirited street and track driving, dropping the car roughly 1.5 in. at the front and 1.4 in. at the rear. Lowering the center of gravity reduces body roll, sharpens handling, and balances vehicle weight for greater control and feedback. Each spring is cold wound from shot peened 54SiCr6 spring steel for high fatigue strength and resilient, consistent rates. Made in Germany.

Please check to see which tops are in your car. Open the hood and look at the top of the struts. If the struts have a black plastic cap, this should indicate that you have the large spring top. Use part number 54764, 54764-55 or 31016-1. If there is a round metal top with rubber around it and no plastic cap you should have the smaller spring end. Use part number 54748, 54748-55, 54748-88, 31016-2 or 31016-3.; Performance aftermarket shocks or struts are highly recommended for this application. |
