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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have H&R sport springs (29513) fitted to my new (to me) '03 Targa. Rear is decidedly low compared to the front! Roughly 25mm gap between wheel arch and tyre at the fronts but the wheel arch at the rear is probably 25mm below! definitely not a matching gap and looking a little too gangsta. Can only presume the springs (or just H&R springs) sag a lot over time? though as they were installed by a PO i have no idea how long they've been on the car. Anyone seen this before? need to get the height back up to something sensible but not stock. HR is off the shopping list though. Jas

POST 3Original post

I wouldn't have thought that a reputable company like H&R would have coil spring that would sag so much - is the ride height the same both sides? I've heard of standard springs snapping but not aftermarket premium springs..... Do you have standard shocks fitted to the H&R springs or could they be (if you are lucky) adjustable coilovers, in which case you can higher the ride height.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's unusual indeed. Looks like it's the same on both sides, nothing seems cracked. and the springs are on what looks like stock struts jas

POST 5Original post

check h and r site and make sure they are the right ones. make sure they arent some special performance version. some people think they can put any spring on any car

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does seem to be the correct spring for the car j

POST 7Original post

Maybe the PO went a little ghetto and cut the spring at the top to go more flush?

POST 8Original post

Not uncommon for H&R rear springs. I remember a thread where someone modded a hockey puck to level theirs http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...-rear-end.html There it is!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah yes thanks. Just read this. Seems Im not alone in the sagging department j

POST 11Original post

Targas are heavier than straight coupes, especially in the back. If the spring selection did not consider that it could be part of the problem.

POST 12Original post

There are two different sets of H&R sport springs for Targa/Cabrio... C2 = 29513-2 C4 = 29466-2 Perhaps this is the problem?
