FAQs

Where are H&R lowering springs made? ›

H&R lowering springs are 100% manufactured in our headquarter in Lennestadt (Germany).

Bicycle designers intentionally make frames in such a way that the frame itself can absorb some vibrations. Besides providing comfort to the rider, suspension systems improve traction and safety by helping to keep one or both wheels in contact with the ground.

H&R Special Springs are high quality products—they will not set or sag, they are designed and manufactured to be strong, resilient, and more durable than other automotive coil springs. All H&R springs are crafted from a special (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel to ensure premium quality and performance.

H&R uses a very stiff 54Sir6 alloy steel that have higher progressive spring rates than the Eibach kits. This produces a stiffer, more active ride that some people prefer. The H&R stiffer spring rates also reduce shock/strut travel for better control, but at the expense of ride comfort over stock.

What spring rate you need will depend on your weight and on the suspension design of your bike. In particular, its leverage ratio, which is how far the axle moves for every millimeter the shock compresses. You can easily work out the average leverage ratio by dividing the wheel travel by the shock stroke.

Short-travel suspension (less than 120mm) suspension provides all-round riding performance with an emphasis on smooth trails and going uphill. Long-travel suspension (greater than 120mm) is best for descending rough terrain at high speeds with greater control.
