Where to buy H-sport lowering springs?

I've been looking into purchasing H-sport lowering springs and count find them anywhere. Are these not available anymore? I didn't even see it on the Hotchkis website.

I just found a link that takes me to Madness Motor works springs. Are these the same springs?

If I cant find a used one my only other option is the M7 ones.

Any suggestions?

Whatever you do, don't stop at the springs.

While you have the shocks and springs out, upgrade the sway bars.

The single best handling bang for the buck upgrade I've done on my JCW is replace the JCW sway bars with the Hotchkis competition sway bar set.

I have the competition set with the rear on the most aggressive setting and I regularly air out the inside rear wheel. Also good for planting your passenger's head to the window.

I currently have a 19mm rear bar, but will be upgrading to a 22 or bigger soon. I'm going to install the springs with Koni Sport.

I also have poly bushing all around and Hotchkis rear control arms ( all four ). The down side since I moved out here with my Mini has been the premium I have to pay for shipping. Outmotoring has been place to go when I need something. And their shipping prices are very reasonable and their service is great. I install the TSW x-brace this next month and this suspension upgrade might put it back

Trying to get some upgrades done before it get 120 degrees outside this summer . Hopefully I can get hold of some springs soon.
