Suspension and Alignment for Tim’s GTI

Written by Dion on April 21, 2011 – 3:07 pm -

While waiting for some zinc-coated rotors for Tim’s StopTech BBK to show up, we installed H&R’s Sport Spring Kit for the VW (Mk6) GTI. Tim is looking into coil-overs for a future installment after he returns home and gets a chance to get to know his GTI a bit but meanwhile, the sport springs will at least allow the car to handle slightly better than stock and address the wheel gap issue – “can’t do all this work and have it sitting at stock height”, says Tim. And now with our alignment rack all up and operating, we are able to offer you both suspension and alignment services in one stop!

H&R Sport Springs Top Seller

Written by Dion on March 24, 2011 – 8:55 am -

The Sport Spring kits are H&R’s top seller! With affordability and resulting good looks, they drive a hard bargain. Mike chose H&R’s Sport Spring kit for his Candy White VW (Mk6) GTI and had 18″ O.Z. Ultraleggera wheels sent to us from Tire Rack to complete the install. End result is near perfection!

H&R Sport Springs a popular choice for VW’s Tiguan

Written by Dion on October 1, 2010 – 12:24 pm -

One of Tim’s first tasks for his newly purchased VW Tiguan was suspension, and H&R Sport Springs have been a very popular choice for many. With a mild inch-and-a-half drop, the end result is just perfect!

Want Your Own TDI Cup Car?

Written by Dion on April 19, 2010 – 9:00 am -

In 2008 we saw the launch of the Jetta TDI Cup Series in SCCA Racing, VW’s way of introducing clean diesel technology to the US Market and it was a big success! A couple of years later, Volkswagen is offering their 2010 Jetta TDI Cup Edition to give VW owners an opportunity to have their own version of the SCCA Cup Car…. Almost.

Jonathan brought us his wife’s TDI Cup Edition Jetta to help get their consumer-version closer to the performance levels of the actual Cup Series car. H&R’s Sport Spring kit and wheel spacers addressed both performance and stance by giving the car a 20mm wider track via 10mm DR spacers in the back and about an inch-drop both front and back using H&R’s sport springs. The end result is exactly what Jonathan had in mind for his wife’s daily driver.

We are expected to see this car back as soon as APR releases some of their performance goodies they promise to roll out this year… Don’t let us down, APR!

Subtle drop with H&R Sport Springs

Written by Dion on April 23, 2009 – 10:59 am -

Bojan was looking for a quick, pocket-book-friendly method of lowering his B7 Audi S4 Avant after just picking it up from Chaplins VW in Bellevue, WA. Adjustability was no concern and it was all about appearances and getting rid of the nasty wheel gap. H&R Sport Springs were selected to bring the car down 1.2″ both front and back, just enough to make a subtle difference in ride height.

Sport springs feature more control than that of the OE Sport spring, but is still comfortable for daily use. Sport springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use.
