H&R Lowering SPrings for All4s

So after doing research, no one has put these springs on? I know people have put the NM springs etc.. But I wanted to see if anyone has put these H&R springs on their countryman??

According to specs 1.4" both front and rear

Judging by the no responses, there probably isn't anyone correct?

Yup but from the info I gathered and calling them, they checked fitted only. I think they stated it fits, but no one here and other forums have any info.

I am really close to pulling the trigger on the H&R Sport Springs part#28923-4. The advertised drop is 1.4 front and rear. I have had good experiences with H&R springs on some of my other vehicles but wanted to see if anyone has these on their ride.
Also was considering a wheel spacer (HR Trak+ spacers) for my 18" x 7.5 jet black wheels that came with sport package for a slightly wider stance.

After driving it over the weekend I have to say the ride is quite good. It is firmer and handles very nice. I had him set the rear camber to 1.9. I have the OEM 18's and zero rubbing so far even with the full family (two adults, a 7 year old, and a 2 year old) Even when crossing some dips at a good speed. I am please with the amount of drop and the ride.

Sweet. I rather like a firm ride. It sounds like the NM folks have a softer ride. Sounds like a winner to me!

No spacers yet. I wanted to get the springs on and truly see what the drop was before I decided on what I was going to do wheel wise. I am now thinking a 19" x 8.5 et45 no spacers- might be the ticket. But still chewing it over. I really want a matte black and trying to find some options in that color. Havent been able to find a ton. I know I can powder coat, but was trying to avoid going through all that.

Please do! So much info on the nm springs. I am trying to get as much info as I can on these h&r. They sound like a winner though.
