I'm looking at getting some H&R sport springs. Any shops that sell these and install for a good price?

H&R springs used to make neuspeed springs. Now neuspeed are made by themselves and also not as good any more compared to when H&R used to make them.

The springs just alone were very good, but in time they wore out my shocks, especially my front ones, so i got them replaced with some Koni Reds and again, with those, the difference was big, it wasnt as bouncy as before, and more precise.
So invest in the whole package, springs AND shocks at the same time, so the labour work is much easier and much cheaper too.

I have decided that I will get replacement shocks at the same time. I'm getting my H&R springs on Sun, now I just need to find some reasonably priced shocks to go with them.

Check out KYB's or Tokico's for decent quality, decent priced struts.
I wish Koni's were available for my car when I did my suspension.
