I fitted H&R springs, think they only do 30mm for the E-Coupe.

The car does not seem that low and doesn't seem to have made much difference from original. I have been driving it for about 3-4 weeks now as i was told they may settle more but have seen no change?
What do you guys think?

Which H&R springs are these? Sport, etc. Where did you buy them from? They were clearly marked H&R? It almost looks stock. I'm on H&R sport springs and it is very noticeable. See the siggy below.

These are the numbers from the springs. They are definately H&R came in orignal sealed box.

This is the one i got

Man, I don't know. It should definitely be like the picture of my car in white on stock wheels in the signature. That's weird...

Would you be able to get me the part number of your springs so i can see if they are the same or the incorrect ones for my car.

Thanks

Please do not panic

This is very typical with all spring (sport and oem). In order for them to settle you have to ride car for approx 3k miles. Mine eibach setteled after 7k miles. Nothing bad about it. They are new and have to settle. another example is my benz w140. I had oem springs and changed to new also oem, car was so high, after a while it dropped.

SnakeDoctor

My springs were also black in color. Not purple.

Sorry do you have the part number on the springs not from the box
Thanks

R4vvm

ok just spoke to H&R and they have confirmed they are part number 52726 so do you think they just need time to settle?

dav461

just load 300 kg of potatoes in your boot and it will settle

SnakeDoctor

I guess so, but I would have thought that the car would be lower to begin with and settle further. That has been the case for me every time I put any kind of lowering suspension on my cars.

I've lowered many cars in the past and this whole "settling" thing isn't really a thing, it might drop fractions of an inch but it's hardly noticeable. You should see instant noticeable results upon installation.

^^ this

But in seriousness mate, my car before and after H&R's instant difference so if they haven't settled after a few weeks I'd be getting a refund and trying some others out

R4vvm

Yeah thought so Dr-Nab, messaged you on mblcub forum.
Where did you buy your springs from?

Dr-Nab

Yeah mate, got your message on there and have replied to it.. got mine from here:

Not so conventional to be ordering from a company in Germany but at the time in the UK there was only really one place that could get the springs and I'd never use them for anything such is their reputation.

cks performance?

P.S. nice web site.

I cant say it looks much different from mine.... If you didn't tell me, Id say they are stock height.

With eibach springs (manufacturer said -30mm)

SnakeDoctor

Just doesn't look right. Springs for me have always shown immediate results, and my concern was always, I hope they don't settle too low. On the E coupe, often I've seen the rear drops really low, and the front is still kind of high initially. It then settles evenly.
