H&R Coil Spring Lowering Kit

Why H&R Leads the Coil Spring Lowering Kit Category

When it comes to coil spring lowering kits, few names carry the engineering pedigree of H&R Special Springs. Founded in Germany by Werner Heine and Heinz Remmen, H&R set out to solve a simple problem: factory suspension compromises handling for the sake of comfort and cost. Decades later, their coil spring lowering kits remain a benchmark for enthusiasts who want genuine performance gains without sacrificing daily drivability.

German Engineering at the Core

Every H&R coil spring lowering kit starts with a foundation that most competitors can't match. All H&R springs are crafted from a special (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel to ensure premium quality and performance. Beyond the material itself, H&R springs are shot-peened to increase their life by more than 200%. The result is a spring that resists sagging and fatigue over years of real-world use. Each spring is 100% tested before leaving H&R's ISO9001 certified production facility in Germany.

A Lowering Kit for Every Driver

H&R doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach to lowering. Their lineup spans several distinct tiers, each engineered for a specific driving style and performance goal:

• OE Sport Springs: Only from H&R, OE Sport Springs are for those who desire a slight increase in handling and control, with reduced body roll and superb ride comfort — a subtle upgrade for a fine-tuned vehicle.
• Sport Springs: Sport Spring kits are H&R's number one selling product. H&R Sport springs provide a mild drop of around 1.2" to 1.5", keeping things functional while improving handling and stance. The progressive spring rate design ensures a comfortable ride during cruising while firming up under hard cornering.
• Super Sport Springs: The Super Sport springs take things further, dropping 1.6" to 2.3" for a more aggressive stance with firmer road feel — both options designed to maintain ride comfort, with Super Sport springs leaning toward a more track-inspired feel.
• Race Springs: H&R Race Springs are designed for high-performance drivers who want the most out of their vehicles, providing over-the-top race-ready performance and appearance while helping balance vehicle weight for improved performance and control.
• VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs: H&R's most innovative spring option, the VTF (Verstellbar Tieferlegungs Federn) line, takes customization to a new level. Adjustable down to the micro millimeter with an average lowering range of 0.30–2.7" depending on application. H&R VTF springs are specifically designed and tuned to work with factory damping for superb ride and great handling — making them the ideal choice for modern vehicles equipped with electronic shock absorbers.

Drop-In Performance, No Compromises

H&R lowering springs are the ideal solution for anyone who wants to optimize the handling of their car and achieve a sporty look while retaining the standard ride comfort — ensured by the exact setup of the springs to the original shock absorbers. H&R engineers also account for modern vehicle complexity: their lowering springs, in conjunction with the standard suspension, ensure a discreet lowering of the vehicle's center of gravity, with engineers paying attention to vehicle variants with electronically controlled shock absorbers or active suspensions.

With over 277 fitment-specific kits available, H&R's coil spring lowering lineup covers an exceptional range of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Whether you're building a refined street car or pushing toward track use on weekends, H&R offers a precisely engineered kit to match your goals.
