H&R Sport Springs offer the handling characteristics and aggressive appearance that you’ve been looking for, without the harsh ride characteristics of less-advanced spring systems. H&R Sport Springs feature more control and are engineered for the street, making them comfortable and fun to drive.
Every spring produced by H&R comes from the H&R ISO 9001 certified engineering and manufacturing facility in Germany. All H&R springs are produced from a special 54SiCr6 spring steel, which has strength rated at 290,000 psi resulting in unrivaled tensile strength and resiliency.
Combining high-quality materials with advanced designed tools and techniques makes the final H&R product lighter and more durable than other automotive coil springs.
At H&R product design and development is of the highest importance. All H&R springs are “cold” wound on specially designed CNC machinery and then time-tempered to re-align the molecular structure of the steel to ensure quality and durability.
All springs are shot-peened to increase the service life of each spring by more than 200%. Each spring is then sent through the H&R exclusive “SuperBlok™” system, which cycles each spring to ensure that sagging will never occur. Lastly, the H&R special powder coating process coats each spring with a flexible and durable finish that is highly resistant to corrosion, chips, and scratches. At H&R we care about quality –– the whole production process, from start to finish, is done in-house to ensure the most consistent, highest quality product possible.
*H&R Sport Springs will lower your C30 approximately 1.3 inches front and rear
*Knowing the ride height of your volvo before and after making modifications is important. Here's how we do it:
- Place your car on a smooth level flat surface, such as a parking lot or garage floor.
- Measure vertically from the center of the wheel to the center of the the wheel opening as show in the picture on the right to eliminate variations due to tire and wheel sizes. Do this at all four corners of the car and record your measurements.
- After installing lowering coils measure again and record the results.
Typically a 3/8" to 1/2" difference side to side is acceptable. If you find that your car is out of this spec, you should check to make sure the springs are properly seated and other parts of the car such as suspension bushings are not the cause.
