To enable us to correctly process-orders we need the following information

• Motor/Vehicle type and version and/or year of manufacture,
• Engine type,
• Axle load,
• Self levelling – yes or no.

Please note that all measurements regarding lowering are approximate and can differ depending on the age of the vehicle and fittings.

Installation

Additional information regarding the installation can be found in the H&R warranty passport, which is supplied with each set of springs. Before fitting please check that the contents of the carton match the enclosed TÜVapproval. (Colour and stamp of the spring) The vehicle must be re-aligned after the installation of an H&Rspring/ suspension-system. When the spring is fitted the stamp markings on the spring should be readable, i.e. not upside down. The extension of lowering has to be reduced by the series lowering.

Axle/ Wheel Alignment

For wheel alignment after fitment refer to vehicle manufacturer´s data. If these data can not be achieved (e.g. at low ride height) try to approach the data as close as possible.

Self Levelling/Sensors

H&R springs can be used on vehicles fitted with a factory self levelling suspension. The self levelling system needs to be reset at an authorised garage. If an aftermarket self levelling kit is fitted to the car, it is unlikely the H&R springs can be used. To avoid damage of the self-levelling system and/or headlight height adjustment these connecting links should be untightened before removing the shock absorber.

Servo Brake Adjuster

The setting of the rear brake adjuster needs to be checked, where applicable.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brakes)

Please note that the brake sensors might need re-adjusting (on some models) VAG = VW, Audi.

Shock Absorbers

If the existing shock absorbers are not in good condition, we recommend that you change them for new OE parts. However, best suited for all sport springs is the use of sport shock absorbers which H&R offers for most spring sets. These will offer optimum performance and handling.

Notes regarding Mercedes-Benz vehicles

H&R offers different sport springs for each type of vehicle, to allow differences in equipment. The lowering can be adjusted even further by using original MB rubber spring inserts with different thickness levels (8 – 23 mm).

Trailer Coupling

By use of a trailer coupling the distance between the top of the trailer coupling and the road must be 350-420 mm.

Base Version

The mentioned car-type is always for the base-version only. Other types like 4WD, convertible, station wagon, sport-versions etc. are not included if not specially mentioned.

Product-Return

Returning products have to be released in writing! These products have to be in an impeccable and marketable condition. A copy of the delivery note is necessary and the products have to be sent in f.o.c.. The credit will be made over the value of goods less 15 % storage replacement costs. Returned products have to be new, not mounted.

Coil Over

For some cars extensive chassis-work may be required to reach the maximum possible lowering of the coil overs. Please ask your H&R dealer or workshop about the costs before installation.
