Dropped on H&R. PICS
 

I installed H&R springs yesterday and figured i would post pics of its stance for anyone thinking of going this route can get an idea of how low it goes.

These were installed by Amplified Motorsports. Took the guy exactly 1 hour and 45 min tops. It was a smooth install.

Ride is very much like OEM, but it handles better. I am not using any spacers or camber arms for now. The front has about 1 finger and rear has 1 1/2 to 2 fingers tops. I dont think it will go any lower, springs should have settled by now. I did notice that the flaps now scrape alot so those might end up coming off. Overall im satisfied with the springs.

Looks good. The rubber parts may compress a little bit more.

nice stance! Do u kno how long it takes to settle? After the springs are settled do u need to do alignment agian?
thanks

Looks good. I think I would do some spacers on the wheels.

looks good and the headlights came out looking great!!!! put your wheels on though!!!!!!! then when your ready we'll take some pix. have a spot in mind???

Nice drop. I would highly recommend spacers.

Thanks. Im not sure how long it takes for the spring to settle but they should not take long. it wont make much more of a difference.

Thanks.. The wheels should be on by next weekend. Damn i have to think of a spot. :ughdance:

Nice pics, and it looks nicer in person. :tup:
Good choice of springs and I'm very happy for you
enjoy :tiphat:

2 weeks is usual and do the alignment then. No need to do an alignment during the install.

Thats correct. i guess i missed that part of the question.. thanks nogoodname :tup:

nice drop! Im torn between H&R and Eibach ProKit.

what wheels you putting on?

mind me asking whats the price for a set?

Depending on the vendor they range from $270 - $300 plus install. Have Lou from Amplified quote you a price. :tiphat:

i see it as if you plan on going aftermaket wheels get the H&R but if you are going to stay on the Sport 19' wheels get eibach w/spacers. Thats my opinion. :tup:

? why?

Thats an awesome drop actually. Get some spacers and that will look great!

damn you had to ask. now i have to elaborate on this. AGAIN its just my opinion and observation. First off the eibachs on aftermarket wheels give a noticeable gap, more than what it appears on Sport 19'. I dont know if it is because of the wider wheel since the sport 19' has a better chance of tucking in. See the pics below. Both cars are on eibachs and the aftermarket wheels seem to make the gap more noticeable. This may not justify it for you since its hard to explain. Hope it helps.

I'm going with the fact that the aftermarket wheels stick out farther than the OEM 19's. So, being that the stock 19's are further in, there is less light and viability shown on the gap so it isn't as noticeable.

Either that or the aftermarket rims are sitting on lower profile tires.

This drop would definitely look spot on with spacers. How's the rear camber look? It's hard to tell from the pics.

holy crap that's low just to be lowered on springs... probably running off bumpstops. :D

Since it was just lowered on Sat the camber still looks good in the front but the back is a lil more aggressive but nothing outrageous. i hope it stays at these settings. But either way i plan to get a alignment a month from now and camber kit for the rear.

you may not need a camber kit. i just got my alignment on friday and they set it at -2.5 in the rear without a camber kit. saved me some money

im really considering these instead of coilovers..its kind of hard to see the gap in the pics due to the shadow line..do you have any pics in direct sunlight at the wheel gap?..thanks!!

no but i will take some today. It might be hard to see because of the color of the car. but i will try my best. :tiphat:

Perfect drop man! Much better than Eibach IMO
Any weird noises coming from them?

Drop with H&R is better then Eibach. Also in the german car tuning world, H&R has a better rep for quality then Eibach!

Negative!! No rubbing and drives like stock!!

^you're on stock shocks?

I agree. Yes stock shocks..

Will, have to test it later on Mulholland! :rolleyes:

Cant wait.. I installed my wheels this weekend also. They make a huge difference in terms of handling, it just makes the car feel a lot WIDER. Im very happy.

Sound good, wait till you put on the sways... night and day in terms of handling.
