Default 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.

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

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

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.
