Here's the skinny - the front springs are basically the same from sportpack to non-sportpack. Just a few mm static length with similar spring rates, basically means nothing on loaded height. The rears are TOTALLY different. H&R on a Sportpack car will drop the **** end of the car about 1.5" further than the front.
Which is why we bench tested sportpack springs to come up with a correct solution for the rears, which doesn't drop the car 2" from standard. This is Sportpack on H&R. It's really, really low.

That looks phenomenal.
Is there a comparison photo of VAP and H&R on the same sport pack car?

I'm not sure if I have those. I think there's a thread somewhere with our springs on a Sportpack car.
I can tell you 100% that the sportpack requires a different rear spring, and that to the best of my knowledge, H&R do not offer one. Many of my dealers have told me they fitted H&R to sportpack and the ride height at the rear was unacceptably low, and ride quality was very poor.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm in the market for a drop.
I'm not sure if your springs drop my car enough.
I found a picture with a Vantage on Sport pack wheels on your website
but the drop seems to be close to my stock ride height.

So now you're offering different springs for sport pack and non-sport pack cars?
I first installed H&R springs on my 09 sport pack and I agree that it was unacceptably low. I then Installed VAP springs and the rear was still a bit too low, I had to add a spacers on the bottom of the rear springs to get the car at the desired height.
