H&R Springs Anyone ?

Zeester

You think they're stiffer than these H&Rs ?

Im in the market for a stiff spring that lowers the car about an inch or so and yet has more performance due to it being stiffer.

Stiffer doesn't necessarily mean more performance! (That's not what she said!)

Ok today I installed my hr springs myself. I started at 11 and finished around 10pm because I had a shop switch out the springs for me but the spring wasn't aligned good enough with the lower part that the bolt goes through. So after I loosened all the bolts and nuts and took out the passenger strut I had to quickly put everything back together and go back to the shop before they closed. But the front and rear only took me a total of 4 hrs, not including the downtime.

It's quite like oem, which it is, minus the springs. The ride is nice, I can't really tell the difference between the hr and from my bc. I had the bc set really stiff and on the bumpiest parts of the highway the car would shake like crazy. But 90% of the time the ride was fairly smooth. I didn't take any corners too fast, can't tell just yet if they handle as well as the bc.

The front amazingly was the same height that I had the bc at, don't know if the springs will settle, probably not. The rear were a bit higher than my bc, maybe 1/4 higher. I actually like the rear to be higher than the front, but if I could choose I would have the rears a bit lower. I don't think the springs will settle, I took a look and the dead springs were completely compressed. Overall I like the hr springs.

Glad it worked out for you!! Sorry you had issues during install! Took me 3 to 4 hours for the install also!! Had just enough time to fit an alignment in before Saturday close! (I didn't do the alignment)
