I have SS springs on the rear and H&R on the front and it balanced it perfectly for what I wanted. I am running 255/35/20s. Very occasional rubbing if the back is loaded. Mine has 10mm rear and 8mm front H&R spacers.

Not the greatest pics but thats all I have on my phone

These are the codes on my rears!!!. Had a look through some google searches and it's a bit inconclusive as to which model they are for!!!

If these are for the avant or cabby then I am up for going halves on some H+R's Rw@@dy

No worries buddy :thumb:

As seen in the picture above. there is no sign of a secondary code number i.e. -1 or -2 so I am not sure which springs these are?

Has anyone else got the secondary code marked on their springs?

Cool :thumb:

Give me a moment just to see what peoples thought are on what I have currently got on the rear at present and if someone can confirm they are the wrong ones then I am in.

TBH I think they must be the wrong ones as no one else's H+R's sit that high on the Saloon!!!!
