I bought a set of what I thought were H&R sport springs for Bilstein B8s and turns out the seller used the rear coil over springs that he sent me with stock shocks on his car.

While that may have worked for his car on stock shocks, I didn't wait 6 months for my Bilstein rear shocks to use stock shocks.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have a correct rear set of 996 turbo/C4S H&R sport springs they'd be willing to part with? I bought a set of what I thought were H&R sport springs for Bilstein B8s and turns out the seller used the rear coil over springs that he sent me with stock shocks on his car. While that may have worked for his car on stock shocks, I didn't wait 6 months for my Bilstein rear shocks to use stock shocks. I never bothered opening them up until I did the install last week and honestly I wouldn't have known anyway (it's my first 996). I ended up cutting off my stock springs with a 4" cutting wheel and while the stance is perfect, I know damn well it's a compromise...I doubt they will collapse because they were not heat tempered like they would have been if I torched them, but it's just not right. Happy to trade mine plus cash if you don't sympathise with the sh*7 situation I'm in or just buy them. Here are the springs Gemballa/H&R coil over springs. Thanks, -Ryan
