H&R Sport Springs

[Stanleythornes]

Hi,

I was looking to lower my ride with H&R Sport Springs (MKV GTI) and I was quoted $1050 including installation from TCCA Antarmon Sydney.

Is that normal? I have a feeling its kinda rip-off.

Any other suggestions of tyre shops that sell these springs in Sydney?

Cheers.

sounds silly expensive to me...

ECS have them for pretty cheap. I think you should be able to get them to your door for about $400 all up. Then the install shouldn't be more than $200....

Yeah. thanks for the advise guys. no way I am going to splash my cash on them.

Buy them from Awesome GTI in the UK.

You can get them delivered to your door for just shy of $300AU.


Been and done this myself for my Scirocco R.

Or try Orange Tuning in Germany. Got H&R springs for my 6R Polo for AU$240 landed.

yeah mate, as others have said - try orange tuning - their H&R 35mm sport springs are only 99gbp which is $147aud at the current exchange rate. probably factor in another 100gbp for shipping, and then install will cost $250 or so, unless you can do it yourself.

yeah, local guys love to charge big for a simple spring kit. to think i was actually seriously considering the eibach "lowering" (mildest lowering option for the polo) kit for $1k, at my local pedders...

thank god for internet forums.

Slight sidetrack but ............I was quoted $5,500 to supply and fit Bilstein pss9's from the SA Bilstein dealer and he said he didnt even have a listing for pss10's! I remember laughing as I hung up the phone.............didnt even say goodbye........

grey import suspension kits are the flavor of the day, for sure.

i got my coilies through slammed distribution, which was both very competitive when compared with overseas prices (not to mention i didnt have to go through the hassle of waiting for a $1000+ kit to sit in customs and get cleared), as well as being trouble free and FAST shipping.

im sure there are people who take the "official" distributors' prices as "oh well, that's just what it costs", but even 10 mins on google looking for a car forum (even for hyundai guys) will enable peeps to save hundreds, if not thousands, for their suspension.

[Stanleythornes]

yeah. true guys.

damn rip-off. i already emailed orange tuning and got quoted around $250 shipped to my doorstep.

win!

Out of interest, those that bought springs off Orange Tuning, how long did they take to be delivered?

[Lucas_R]

^ about 2 weeks or so. I ordered and paid for mine on the 1st Aug and received them on the 20th Aug from Orange Tuning.

[rascal]

Thanks Lucas_R.

Guess they wont be far away then... (ordered and paid on the 20th last month)

I ordered and paid last month from orange tuning. Got DHL tracking number Supposedly shipped on 22/8 and most recent update is 24/8

"The shipment will be transported to the destination country and, from there, handed over to the delivery organization. (Homepage / online shipment tracking: http://auspost.com.au/track/)"

Been stuck on this since then....shall be patient

[Lucas_R]

^ as per my PM, the tracking is useless once the package leaves Germany. It will be delivered by an Aust Post contractor.
