40mm springs might look good, but couples with standard dampers they will **** the handling. If they could be matched to some Koni/Billsteins, that would be ace.

Lowering that far on standard shocks will upset the handling no question. The standard shocks are being compressed 40mm more than they should in their rest state. So now they are already working outside their normal operating perameters. With this the shocks are under more compress and are stiffer as a result. This will upset the car more on a typical UK road, thus ballsing up the handling. Also, the H&R springs aren't progressively wound, so again the ride harsher/ more upsetting for the car. It may feel more keen, but on anything more than smooth tarmac the standard ride height will handle better due to the suspension properly soaking up the bumps.....
you see?
if they were matched with some good quality dampers it would be better.
to be honest gaz going over bumps in the road is no different from standard quiet soft, unless you get a big pot hole. At high speeds the car feels planted and losing the back end is a thing of the past.
i got mine from a local tuning garage that ordered them from h&r over 18 months ago before ktec started selling the reds. Black are 40mm, but it does state i the title that them 30mm, so the picture is just for illustration.
