H&R Springs

Post by hambox »

Anyone with any experience with the H&R springs? I did a search, and couldn't find any threads referencing them. There are quiet a few sets on Ebay, listed for the Matrix, and was curious about their reputation.

H&R is supposed to be good stuff, I didn't know they made kits for the trix/vibe though...

H&R web site lists for the Matrix, but for some reason not for the Vibe. I saw them sold last year for the trix, but could not find them sold now. When I looked a year ago, I found that they had a front drop of 1.3, a rear drop of 1.2, and were 25-30% stiffer than stock. I could not relocate the source of that info.

Thanks for the info, harryiii. I wonder why they are not listed as fitting the Vibe as well? Could be as simple as a marketing thing, perhaps never fitted on a Vibe in their development of the springs?
