No car hasn't sagged at all, still looks and drives well. You can go lower of course with different springs but given the UK roads and probs with rubbing I elected to stop at 50mm. Combined with AGX shocks the car has a good combination of handling/grip and ride quality.

I'm on H&R's as well, they have been fitted about 5 years now without any troubles or rubbing at all, in reality they drop the car around 35mm even though they advertise a 50 drop.

I find them great, they are progressive springs so at low speeds they are forgiving over the bumps as well as firm but when you open it up they hold the road well, one thing to do at the same time will be solid front and rear drop links along with uprated rear anti-roll bar to limit the body roll.
