Can't disagree with the ride aspect or the wheel choice... Thankfully the MRC is as easy as pushing a button.
WTF? He definitely already charged my CC for it.
I'm annoyed that its been over three weeks for these springs, and not one email from him explaining the delay or for any updates on status. Mine are on the way too.
The car may have settled another "half of a finger width" since installing them; I'm still happy with them, but i also think the springs for the "lighter car" (1.6, 1.8L) would be the way to go for anyone else that wants to do this. They may not be as stiff or perform as well as the "correct" springs that I installed, but it might sit just a tad lower than these springs for the 2.0T.
And I just got a US customs bill from UPS for $12. WTF, shouldn't the shipper have paid for that?
I did send you pretty much the same emails as Craig but some of them bounced back. I have no idea why but around that time it was happening quite oftenWe have since changed servers and all seems ok now so please accept my apologies for that.
When you buy from outside the EU you don't pay the VAT (20%) we have over here, so customs can charge you unfortunately. Once they leave the EU we have no control over charges
Anyway, I just joined the forum as I was doing our accounts yesterday and spotted the invoices for the 2 sets of H&R springs sold to the 2 guys in this thread and wondered how you had got on.
The cars look spot on. I do agree that maybe the springs for our lighter 1.6/1.8 may drop them a touch more at the front but technically speaking the springs for the 2.0T should be the ones you fit really.
My father recently bought an Insignia FWD 2.0 CDTI and it is a brilliant car
EDIT: Needless to say if anyone else requires a set or anything else we have for the Insignia then let me know. I actually find dealing with people from North America and Australia/New Zealand easier than people here![]()

I would recommend the 1.6/1.8T springs to anyone else. My rears have settled as much or maybe a touch more than the fronts (about one finger width), and while I can fit one finger between the rear tire and the fender, I can fit three fingers between the front wheel and the fender. I'd return them if for the others if I could.

Agreed. I almost went with those too.
i actually read all 11 pages of this thread and i did skip some posts to get thru all the reading but where did you buy them?
although i just bought my GS 2013 ill be ordering my springs sooner than later ...
im a big Eibach Fan but i dont know when there coming out
where did you get your springs from?

i dont get it ... i see sports tourer and than without tourer? which is the one for our GS?
Are the H&R springs compatible with the Regal Turbo CLX? If I change to a shorter spring, will the IDC still function properly?
"Sports Tourer" is the wagon, if I remember right. Also, the links you sent were one H&R and one Eibach.
The H&R part number is 28998-5. Eibach part number should be 38158.140
