H&R Rear Spring Upgrade

As mentioned in another thread I ordered and fitted new rear springs to my H&R coilovers as the rears were fooked.

Spring rates based on PSS9's, required some machining of spring perch and had to have some custom top cups made as the H&R shocks are too long in my opinion.
All done it's set me back arround £200-240, which I don't think is too bad personally.

Managed to achieve DRC ride height, comfort is second to none in comparison to the H&R's, handling is vastly improved and you can put 3 20stone body's in the boot and get very minimal sag.

Will do a proper write up with specs etc if people are interested? Now to do the fronts!!

Ride is a hell of a lot better now, also you don't feel like your looking at the sky.
