H&R BARRE AVANT-STABI MERCEDES W202, W208

The year was 1980 – vehicle lowering was still completely unknown and a litre of gas cost only 1.15 DM.

H&R company founders Werner Heine (right) and Heinrich Remmen (left) had a great vision: performance enhancement by lowering road cars with homologation. A sensation for that time and a forerunner of today’s lowering with part approval. The courageous young entrepreneurs soon realized that they had hit the mark with their project! Thanks to their ground-breaking idea, the company grew steadily into a well-established family business. Today, suspension components “Made by H&R” are deeply appreciated by customers all over the world.

The secret of H&R’s success? The transfer of technology from top international motorsports to the development of innovative suspension components for road cars. There, immense demands are placed on the material used due to the extremely dynamic loads on the suspension elements. The experience gained in this way flows directly into the development and manufacturing process of the products.
The result of these efforts can be “experienced” in the truest sense of the word by every sporty driver.

The company is now being run by the second and third generations with exactly the same passion and dedication.
