250 H&R Springs

  1. Are they worth it on a 250 Cup?

    Has anyone got a side view of a 250 sitting on them?


    thanks

  2. Jamie on here has them. Looks pretty good with them on.
     
  3. Have a look at Oli`s Scotland road trip on Megane media, page 3. His is on H&r`s

    Well i came from a cup packed 182 to the cup packed megane and was impressed by how comfortable the cup'd Megane was in comparison. I really enjoyed the forgiveness, however, I found there was a lot more body roll than I was expecting (and used to), I found this really unnerving, so I decided to try the H&R springs.

    The H&R springs are a lot firmer, a lot! Body roll is reduced greatly but comfort is also greatly reduced when encountering speed bumps, pot holes etc... I would say the firmness is now similar to that of my old cup packed 182. Most of the roads I drive are in fairly good condition and I don't come across many speed bumps, so I find the comfort fine for my requirements the vast majority of the time. I couldn't say the handling is better or worse, but i prefer the 'feel' with the H&Rs when giving it some in the bends.

    For me the improved feeling on cornering outweighs any potential added discomfort, but this is of course only my opinion :wink:.

     
  5. Looks well that

    What about eibachs? They were good in the clio world
     
  6. When I had my BMW most folks preferred Eibach Pros to H&R, seems the other way around with the Megane
     
  7. I've had allsorts on my previous clios, H&R billstein, KW Coilovers and also had some eibach sportlines, they are a good spring with decent dampers.

    H&R look more for Lowz IMO?
     
  8. The standard arch gap is a bit of a joke though
     
  9. I had Eibachs on my previous 197 Cup, hated the ride on that.

    Cheers for the feedback and pictures.

  10. As in too crashy?


    I'll probably just jump straight to b14's but I actually quite rate the cup set up in day to day terms
     
  11. My cup had them when I bought it and now has kw clubsports and obviously they where a lost softer then those but I also have a cup on standard cup suspension and you can tell that the HnR springs add a very nice drop in height and definitely helped reduce body roll. My road is speed bump hell and the car was perfect even on the HnR springs.

    Paul Ashley and skusey_ like this.
  12. I'm not going the coilovers route (had several cars in the past with KW V3's and Bilstein B16's) I get fed up jaffing about with adjusting things. H&R seem enough for my requirements and with the pics people have added the cars sit nicely as well...

    Thanks everyone for your input

  13. Have you also got spacers on?
     
  14. H&Rs ordered... £120 all in
     
  15. Where did you get them at that price?
     
  16. Euros
     
  17. Have you got a link for there as the only ones I can see at that price are to fit the old megane. Cheers
     
  18. Have you got a link for these as the only ones I can see at that price are for the mk2 megane
     
  19. Give them the H&R part number 28997-2
     
  20. Just checked that they now have them at £165 :worried: anyone have a good code for them or can get them cheaper?
     
  21. I know an ECP manager so got a deal on them at £120 all in
