Competition Springs

Has anyone retro'd them? Or even seen a price (just for the springs) yet?

I may be way off here because I am not sure what type of springs you mean. If you mean H&R, starchild has them on his Superman GC. It looks GREAT!

I believe he's referring to the springs included in the Competition Package that supposedly drop the car 10mm.

The CP springs don't drop the M6 at all - it's only the M5 that drops 10mm.

The M6 already sits lower than the M5 which I guess is the reason it doesn't drop any further with CP fitted. The spring rates are noticeably stiffer though so, whilst you wouldn't do it for aesthetics, you may do for improved dynamics.

Duh..thanks for the clarification. Asleep at the wheel here.

Starchild modified his H&R (ie: cut them) and his looks PERFECT!

The Euro M6 CP is lowered by 10 mm according to the official price list.

It is a question of fitment not stiffness. They don't have them for the GC yet. He used F13 springs. He's a ridiculously good tech/shop owner.
